Answer 1

The correct statement about an atom is:

**A. The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus.**

Here's a breakdown of the other statements:

- **B. The proton has no charge and is found in the nucleus.** (Incorrect - protons have a positive charge.)
- **C. The neutron has a negative charge and is found in the nucleus.** (Incorrect - neutrons have no charge.)
- **D. The neutron has no charge and is found outside of the nucleus.** (Incorrect - neutrons have no charge, but they are found in the nucleus.)

So, option A is the only correct statement.
