D
Neutron
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. These include protons and neutrons.
Understand the charge of each subatomic particle: protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons have a negative charge.
Recall that photons are not subatomic particles found in the nucleus; they are particles of light and do not have a charge.
Recognize that electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge and are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus, not in the nucleus itself.
Conclude that the subatomic particle found in the nucleus with a positive charge is the proton.
