Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that an atom consists of three main subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand that the nucleus of an atom is the central core where protons and neutrons are located.
Recognize that electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds or shells and are not found inside the nucleus.
Identify that for a nitrogen atom, like any other atom, the nucleus contains both protons and neutrons.
Therefore, the correct identification of subatomic particles in the nucleus of a nitrogen atom is protons and neutrons.
