Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the basic structure of an atom, which consists of a nucleus and an electron cloud surrounding it.
Understand that the nucleus is the central part of the atom and contains subatomic particles responsible for most of the atom's mass.
Identify the subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons, and know their locations within the atom.
Recognize that protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in electron clouds or shells.
Conclude that the subatomic particles found in the nucleus are protons and neutrons, not electrons.
