Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify what the label "b" represents in the atom; here, "b" is the nucleus.
Recall that the nucleus is the central part of the atom containing protons and neutrons.
Understand that protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons (which are negatively charged) are found outside the nucleus.
Recognize that the nucleus occupies a very small volume compared to the entire atom, so it does not occupy most of the atom's volume.
Conclude that the correct characteristic of the nucleus is that it contains protons and neutrons.
