Identify which subatomic particles are found in the nucleus of an atom.ProtonsElectrons

In the nucleus of an atom, you will find the following subatomic particles:

1. Protons: These particles are positively charged and contribute to the atomic mass of the atom. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the type of element.

2. Neutrons: These particles have no electric charge (neutral) and also contribute to the atomic mass. Neutrons help to stabilize the nucleus, as they counteract the repulsive forces between the positively charged protons.

Electrons are not found in the nucleus; instead, they orbit around the nucleus in energy levels or shells. Thus, the nucleus is primarily composed of protons and neutrons.
