Atomic Structure and subatomic particles - Identify the element

Desmond is curious: If he has a positive charge, where would he be found in the atom?

• Outside of the nucleus

• In the nucleus

• In the electron cloud

• Atoms are neutral and don't have charged parts

Malia spends her time outside of the nucleus, therefore her charge must be...?

• Positive

• Neutral

• Negative

Desmond is learning about atoms and discovered that there is a particle which doesn't have a charge and contributes to an atom's mass, therefore it must be a ....
