Question

which correctly describes a part of an atom?
the neutrons are negatively charged
the nucleus does not have a charge
the protons are positively charged
the electrons are positively charged

Explanation:

• Neutrons have no charge, so "The neutrons are negatively charged" is incorrect.
• The nucleus contains protons (positively charged) and neutrons (no charge), so the nucleus has a positive charge. Thus, "The nucleus does not have a charge" is wrong.
• Protons are positively charged, so "The protons are positively charged" is correct.
• Electrons are negatively charged, so "The electrons are positively charged" is incorrect.

Answer:

The protons are positively charged.
