Maleah Fitzpatrick · Answer 1

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the subatomic particles surround the nucleus

D. protons, neutrons, and electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three subatomic particles that are electrons, neutrons, and protons. Moreover, the nucleus is the center of the atom, which is dense and small, composed of nucleons.

Nucleons contain positively charged particles, protons, and neutrons. Though neutrons are neutrally charged but positively charge in the center of an atom is obtained through protons whereas electrons are negatively charged particles that are located outside the nucleus.

They are the smallest of particles of an atom which is surrounded by protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Harding · Answer 2

Answer: D. protons, neutrons and electrons.

Explanation:

Choice A isn't correct because neutrons and electrons surround the nucleus as well.

Choice B isn't correct because protons and electrons surround the nucleus as well.

Choice C isn't correct because protons and neutrons surround the nucleus as well.

Choice D is correct because protons, neutrons and electrons do all surround the nucleus.
