Question

Determine whether each statement below is true or false to complete the table. (1 point) True False The nucleus of an atom is found in the atom's center. The nucleus of an atom contains at least one proton. A neutron has a positive electrical charge. Most of an atoms mass is found in protons and neutrons.

Answer 1

Here are the statements evaluated as true or false:

1. **The nucleus of an atom is found in the atom's center.**
**True** - The nucleus is indeed located at the center of an atom.

2. **The nucleus of an atom contains at least one proton.**
**True** - By definition, a nucleus must contain at least one proton, making it a positive entity (except in the case of hydrogen-1, which has one proton).

3. **A neutron has a positive electrical charge.**
**False** - Neutrons have no electrical charge; they are neutral.

4. **Most of an atom's mass is found in protons and neutrons.**
**True** - The protons and neutrons account for the majority of an atom's mass, while electrons have negligible mass comparatively.

Here’s the completed truth table:
