Question

located at the center of the atom, the nucleus consists of protons with a positive charge and neutrons with a neutral or no charge. in what part of the atom are the protons located? in the nucleus in the neutron as part of the electron shell

Explanation:

The left - hand side of the image clearly states that "the nucleus consists of protons with a positive charge" and the diagram also shows protons inside the nucleus. The option "in the neutron" is incorrect because neutrons are neutral particles and protons are a different type of particle. The option "as part of the electron shell" is wrong as electrons are located in the electron shell, not protons.

Answer:

In the nucleus
