Which of the following correctly describes a proton? Group of answer choices Location: nucleus, contribution to mass: usually about half, charge: positive Location: nucleus, contribution to mass: virtually none, charge: positive Location: outside nucleus, contribution to mass: usually about half, charge: positive Location: nucleus, contribution to mass: usually about half, charge: none

Respuesta :

Answer:

Location: nucleus, contribution to mass: usually about half, charge: positive

Explanation:

Protons are a part of the nuclear particles alongside the neutrons. Protons and neutrons are all together called sub-atomic particles and they share the nucleus at the center of an atom together.

  • Protons carry positive charges.
  • They determine the mass of the atom alongside the neutrons.
  • They contribute half to the mass of an atom and the other part is lies on the mass of a neutron.
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.
