positively charged\t\tneutrons\telectrons
negatively charged\t\tprotons
no charge\t
outside the nucleus\t
components of the nucleus\t
have significant mass\t

Explanation:

• Protons carry a positive charge, electrons a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral.
• Electrons orbit outside the atomic nucleus, while protons and neutrons form the nucleus.
• Protons and neutrons have substantial mass (≈1 atomic mass unit each), unlike electrons (negligible mass).

Answer:

positively charged: protons
negatively charged: electrons
no charge: neutrons
outside the nucleus: electrons
components of the nucleus: protons, neutrons
have significant mass: protons, neutrons
