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 is the evaluation of each statement:

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

2. **The nucleus of an atom contains at least one proton.**
**True** - Most atomic nuclei contain at least one proton (except for hydrogen-1, which has just one proton).

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

4. **Most of an atom's mass is found in protons and neutrons.**
**True** - The mass of an atom is primarily due to protons and neutrons, while electrons contribute very little to the overall mass.

Here's the completed table:
