Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of an atom: An atom consists of a nucleus and an electron cloud surrounding it.

Identify the subatomic particles: The three main subatomic particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Locate the particles within the atom: Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.

Clarify the role of each particle: Protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.

Conclude which particles are in the nucleus: Based on their location, protons and neutrons are the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
