Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \sf{The \: electron \: has \: a \: negative \: charge \: and \: is \: found \: outside \: of \: the \: nucleus}}[/tex]
Option A is correct
Explanation:
Let's check the options:
A: The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus.
[tex] \mapsto{}[/tex] Yeah! It's TRUE . An electron is a negatively charged particle and is located outside the nucleus of an atom.
B : The neutron has a negative charge and is found in the nucleus.
[tex] \mapsto{}[/tex]No! It's FALSE . A neutron carries no charge. i.e it is a neutral particle and found inside the nucleus.
C : The proton has no charge and is found in the nucleus.
[tex] \mapsto{}[/tex]No! It's FALSE.A proton is a positively charged particle present inside nucleus of an atom.
D : The neutron has no charge and is found outside of the nucleus.
[tex] \mapsto{}[/tex] I agree that the neutron has no charge. But it is found inside the nucleus not outside . So, this statement is FALSE .
Hence, we found our answer! :D
A. The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus is the correct statement about an atom.
Hope I helped!
Best regards! :D
