Question 8 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Which statement describes a property of a proton?

Answer
A
is found outside the nucleus
B
has a positive charge
C
has less mass than an electron
D
is repelled by electrons

Explanation

A proton is located in an atom’s nucleus and has a positive electric charge. Therefore, “has a positive charge” describes a property of a proton. It is not outside the nucleus, and it is much more massive than an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, they attract protons rather than repel them.
