Protons have a positive electrical charge.
Neutrons are neutral.
The atomic nucleus is positive.
The positive charges in an atom, which are derived from the positively charged protons, are located in the nucleus of an atom. The electrons, which form up in the electron cloud, are what gives this structure its negative charge.
In an atom, the positive charges are found in the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged while the neutrons are neutral.The negative charges can be found in the electrons which revolve around the nucleus.In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).
Protons
In a neutral atom, the charge on the electron cloud is balanced by the carge on the atom's nucleus. The nucleus has a positive charge proportional to the number of protons in it. This attracts and holds the negatively charged electrons in the electron cloud. And in a neutral atom (not an ion), there will be as many electrons in the electron cloud as protons in the nucleus. The charges will balance.
electron - electron cloud protons and neutron- nucleus
An electron is what orbits the nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons
it is in the nucleus, protons
Protons
They have opposite charges.
Electrons are not part of the nucleus, but they orbit the protons there because protons and electrons have opposite electrical charges.
This question doesn't technically have an answer. The electron cloud simply surrounds the nucleus and contains the electrons. Each atom of different elements has a different number of protons. It is not determined by the electron cloud. An electron cloud doesn't have a nucleus as the question implies either. An electron cloud odes not contain protons either. Just electrons, as the name suggests.
The electron is not located in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while quarks are subatomic particles that make up protons and neutrons.
