Question

neutrons are found in the nucleus and separate the other particles so that the strong force can hold the nucleus together. which particles are positively charged and need to be separated so that they dont repel? a electrons b neutrons c protons d quarks

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively - charged and outside the nucleus. Neutrons are neutral. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons. Protons are positively - charged particles in the nucleus. According to Coulomb's law, like charges repel. So, positively - charged protons in the nucleus would repel each other if not for the strong force and neutrons acting as separators.

Answer:

C. protons
