Recall the basic structure of an atom, which consists of a nucleus and electrons orbiting around it.
Identify the subatomic particles found in the nucleus: protons and neutrons.
Understand the charge of each subatomic particle: electrons are negatively charged, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and protons are positively charged.
Recognize that photons are not subatomic particles within atoms; they are particles of light and carry no charge.
Conclude that the positively charged particle located in the nucleus of an atom is the proton.
