Question

There is a negatively-charged core in the center of an atom called the nucleus.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

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.
