State whether these statements are true or false. Electrons can be found any distance from the nucleus.Protons can only be found in the nucleus.

Statement Analysis

1. Electrons can be found any distance from the nucleus.

   • This statement is False. Electrons are located in specific regions around the nucleus known as atomic orbitals. While these orbitals can extend outwards from the nucleus, there are limits defined by quantum mechanics. Electrons can exist at various energy levels but are not found at "any" arbitrary distance.

2. Protons can only be found in the nucleus.

   • This statement is True. Protons are a type of nucleon and are found exclusively in the nucleus of an atom. They are one of the fundamental particles that make up the atomic nucleus, along with neutrons.

Summary

• The first statement is False.
• The second statement is True.
