Question

protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. traveling around the nucleus are fast - moving particles called electrons. each electron has a negative electrical charge. an electron is much smaller and lighter than a proton or a neutron. which of the following statements are true? select all that apply. an electron has a negative electrical charge. a proton is the same size as an electron. all of an atoms electrons are located outside its nucleus.

Explanation:

• According to the text, "Each electron has a negative electrical charge", so the statement "An electron has a negative electrical charge" is true.
• The text states "An electron is much smaller and lighter than a proton or a neutron", so the statement "A proton is the same size as an electron" is false.
• The text says "Traveling around the nucleus are fast - moving particles called electrons", which means all of an atom's electrons are located outside its nucleus. So the statement "All of an atom's electrons are located outside its nucleus" is true.

Answer:

An electron has a negative electrical charge.
All of an atom's electrons are located outside its nucleus.
