The nucleus of an atom is composed of a single proton (usually), a proton and a neutron (rarely) or a proton and two neutrons (extremely rarely) in the case of hydrogen. I the case of all the other elements, both protons and neutrons will be present in varying quantities, depending on which element - and on which isotope of a given element - is being specified. The protons and neutrons are called nucleons when we refer to them as part of an atomic nucleus. A nucleon could be either a proton or a neutron in this case.

The part of an atom that would be found outside the nucleus is the _______.?

The parts of the atom found outside the nucleus would be the electrons, or positrons if the nucleus of the atom is made of antimatter. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle shows us though that the electrons aren't found just in the space outside the nucleus, but in a probabilistic cloud, partly inside the nucleus.
