Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the three main subatomic particles in an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the charge of each particle: Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral (no charge).
Determine the location of each particle within the atom: Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Evaluate the given options based on the known properties of each particle: Check if the charge and location of each particle are correctly described.
Select the option that accurately describes the properties of protons, neutrons, and electrons based on their charge and location.
