Question

What best explains how they should complete the table?

with “Inside the nucleus,” because the particle is a proton
with “Inside the nucleus,” because the particle is a neutron
with “Outside the nucleus,” because the particle is a proton
with “Outside the nucleus,” because the particle is an electron

Answer 1

Depends, you have to give us a table, let me explain how to answer this.

Step-by-step explanation:

“Inside the nucleus,” because the particle is a proton

For this to be true, it has to have a mass (amu) of 1 and it has to have a positive charge

“Inside the nucleus,” because the particle is a neutron

For this to be true, it has to have a mass (amu) of 1 and it has to have a neutral charge

“Outside the nucleus,” because the particle is a proton

This is instantly wrong because protons are located in the nucleus

“Outside the nucleus,” because the particle is an electron

For this to be true, it has to have a mass (amu) of 1/2000 and it has to have a negative charge

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

An atom is made up of three fundamental subatomic particles which are:

• Protons
• Neutrons
• Electrons

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom. They are found in the nucleus of the atom.

Neutrons do not carry any charges, like the protons, they occupy the tiny nuclear space.

Electrons are positively charged particles and they occupy the extra-nuclear space of the atom.

• Both protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.
