Answer:

\boxed{ \sf{The \: electron \: has \: a \: negative \: charge \: and \: is \: found \: outside \: of \: the \: nucleus}}

Option A is correct

Explanation:

Let's check the options:

A: The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus.

\mapsto{} Yeah! It's TRUE . An electron is a <u>negatively</u><u> </u><u>charged</u><u> </u><u>particle</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>located</u><u> </u><u>outside</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>nucleus</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>an</u><u> </u><u>atom.</u>

B : The neutron has a negative charge and is found in the nucleus.

\mapsto{}No! It's FALSE . A neutron carries <u>no </u><u>charge</u>. i.e it is a neutral particle and found inside the nucleus.

C : The proton has no charge and is found in the nucleus.

\mapsto{}No! It's FALSE.A proton is a <u>positively</u><u> </u><u>charged</u><u> </u><u>particle</u> present inside nucleus of an atom.

D : The neutron has no charge and is found outside of the nucleus.

\mapsto{} I agree that the neutron has no charge. But it is found <u>inside</u> the nucleus not outside . So, this statement is FALSE .

Hence, we found our answer! :D

A. The electron has a negative charge and is found outside of the nucleus is the correct statement about an atom.

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
