Where are the protons located in an atom?
A
In the electron cloud
B
In the outermost shell
C
In the nucleus
D
In the valence band
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 contains protons and neutrons, while electrons are found in the electron cloud.
Recognize that protons are positively charged particles located specifically in the nucleus of the atom.
Note that the electron cloud, including the outermost shell and valence band, contains electrons, not protons.
Therefore, the correct location of protons in an atom is in the nucleus.
