Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the three main types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Recall the charge and location of each subatomic particle: Protons have a positive charge and are located in the nucleus, neutrons have no charge and are also located in the nucleus, and electrons have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.
Evaluate each statement given in the problem based on the known properties of subatomic particles.
Determine which statement correctly describes the charge and location of protons: 'Protons have a positive charge and are found in the nucleus.'
Conclude that the correct statement is the one that accurately reflects the properties of protons, as described in step 4.
