Question

The positive charge of the nucleus is due to the presence of neutrons present in it.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Atoms are the building blocks of all different matter.
• Atoms are made up of 3 subatomic particles namely protons, electrons, and neutrons.
• Every atom consists of a small positive region at its center called the nucleus.
• Protons and neutrons are present inside the nucleus.
• Electrons revolve around the nucleus in a definite circular path known as shell or orbit.
• Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged, and neutrons do not carry any charge.
• The positive charge of the nucleus is due to the presence of protons present in it.
• Every atom contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Hence The atom is electrically neutra.

Therefore the given statement is false i.e., The positive charge of the nucleus is due to the presence of neutrons present in it.
