The atomic particle that carries a positive charge is
- a. the neutron.
- b. the proton.
- c. the electron.
- d. none cf the above.

Find the correct option.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct option is “b. proton”.
Explanation of Solution
The atomic particles inside an atom are in stable condition since the equal number of charges balance each other, that is, the quantity of protons and electrons are the same. The protons carry a positive charge and the electrons carry a negative charge that stabilizes the atom.
Therefore, option b is correct.
Since neutron and electron has a neutral charge and negative charge respectively, option a and c are wrong.
As one of the above options, b is the correct the answer, it cannot be none of these. Therefore, option d is wrong.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is “b. proton”.
