Identify the subatomic particles in an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the charge of each subatomic particle: protons have a positive charge, neutrons are neutral, and electrons have a negative charge.
Recognize the location of each subatomic particle within an atom: protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
Combine the information about charge and location: protons, which have a positive charge, are located in the nucleus of the atom.
Review the options given in the problem and select the one that matches the characteristics of a proton: 'Positive charge, located in the nucleus.'
