The nucleus only contains neutrons, which are neutral, and protons, which are positively charged. Therefore, the nucleus is positively charged.

This is a good thing, since the positive charge is what attracts the negatively charged electrons, otherwise, the electrons would fly free.
nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. protons are positively charged particles while neutrons are neutral. they do not carry any charge on them. however the no. of protons and neutrons remain the same. due to the presence of protons nucleus are always positively charged
the nucleus contains protons and neutrons only. Since neutrons carry no charge and protons are positively charged, that's why the nucleus is positively charged.

What is the name of the very small negatively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom?

The small, negatively-charged particle in an atom is an electron. However, this is not in the nucleus. The small negative particles in the nucleus are down quarks, which are smaller than protons and electrons. Strange quarks and bottom quarks are also negative, but are not found in the nucleus.
