Question

which statement describes a property of a proton?
is found outside the nucleus
has a positive charge
has less mass than an electron
is repelled by electrons

Explanation:

• Protons are located inside the nucleus, so the option "is found outside the nucleus" is incorrect.
• Protons have a positive charge, which is a fundamental property of protons.
• Protons have much more mass than electrons (electrons have negligible mass compared to protons), so "has less mass than an electron" is wrong.
• Protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge) attract each other, so "is repelled by electrons" is incorrect.

Answer:

B. has a positive charge
