Solution

Nucleus:

  1. The center portion of the atom is known as the nucleus.
  2. The nucleus contains protons (positively charged) and neutrons (electrically neutral)
  3. Thus, the nucleus becomes positively charged.
  4. As the protons and neutrons are closely packed in the nucleus, it is dense and small in size.

Hence, the nucleus of an atom is dense, small in size, and positively charged.
