A) proton (+1),neutron (0),and electron (−1)
B) proton (−1),neutron (+1),and electron (0)
C) proton (+1),neutron (−1),and electron (0)
D) proton (0),neutron (+1),and electron (−1)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protons have a positive charge (+1), neutrons have no charge (0), and electrons have a negative charge (−1). This is the correct and commonly accepted description of the subatomic particles that make up atoms. Therefore, option A is the best choice.
