Solution

Nucleus is a structure located in the centre of an atom that contains the nucleons i.e. protons and neutrons.

  • Protons are particles that are positively charged.
  • Neutrons are particles that do not have charge at all or are neutral.

Hence, the central part of an atom holding positively charged particles and neutral particles is called nucleus.
