The nucleus contains two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons. The protons have a positive electrical charge and the neutrons have no electrical charge. A third type of subatomic particle, electrons, move around the nucleus. The electrons have a negative electrical charge.

Answer:

1. Protons and neutrons

2. Positive charge

Step-by-step explanation:

A nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have a neutral charge. Neutral + positive would still be positive. So logically nucleus is positive charge.
