An atom has 5 protons in its nucleus that gives it a positive charge. What can be inferred about the number and position of other particles that make the atom electrically neutral? * A. 5 neutrons are located inside the nucleus.
B. 5 electrons are located inside the nucleus.
C. 5 neutrons are located outside the nucleus.
D. 5 electrons are located outside the nucleus.

D. 5 electrons are located outside the nucleus.

Explanation:

Protons have a +1 positive charge, electrons have a -1 negative charge. Protons are in the nuclues and electrons are orbiting in the electron cloud.

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.

the answer is b & c i believe : )
