Here are the answers to the statements provided:

| Statement | 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 atom's mass is found in protons and neutrons. | ✔ | |

  • The first statement is True because the nucleus is indeed at the center of the atom.
  • The second statement is True because every nucleus contains protons, and it can also contain neutrons.
  • The third statement is False because neutrons have no electrical charge; they are neutral.
