Solution

A nucleus is a structure located in the center of an atom that contains the nucleons i.e. protons and neutrons.

  • As neutrons are neutral and carry no charge, therefore charge carried by the protons will be the charge carried by the nucleus.

Hence, the nucleus is positively charged, because of the presence of protons.
