Answer 1

The correct statement about an atom is:

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

The other statements are incorrect because:

• Neutrons have no charge but are found inside the nucleus, not outside.
• Protons have a positive charge, not no charge, and are also found in the nucleus.
• Neutrons do not have a negative charge; they are neutral and located in the nucleus.
