Solution

The correct option is B False
  • The nucleus was discovered by Rutherford with a gold foil experiment.
  • It is present at the center of the atom and is made up of protons and neutrons.
  • Because of the proton charge, the overall charge over the nucleus is positive, not negative.

Thus the given statement is false.
