Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most massive part of the atom is the nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, making the overall charge of the nucleus positive. Electrons, on the other hand, have a negative charge and are much less massive than protons and neutrons, making choice A and C incorrect. Choice B is also incorrect as the nucleus cannot have a negative charge due to the presence of positively charged protons.
