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:

• The neutron does not have a charge (it is neutral), but it is found in the nucleus, not outside.
• The proton has a positive charge, not no charge, and it is found in the nucleus.
