Which particle contributes most to the electrical charge of the nucleus?
A)Proton
B)Neutron
C)Electron

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protons carry a positive charge, while neutrons carry no charge (they are neutral) and electrons carry a negative charge. Since the electrical charge of the nucleus (the center of an atom where protons and neutrons reside) is positive due to the presence of protons, it follows that protons contribute most to the electrical charge of the nucleus.
