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

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res
BARSIC [14]
Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is  (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

                  (2/5) of (9 volts)  =  18/5  =  3.6 volts .

Describe at least four of the requirements (facts) that any model of solar system formation must include (according to the nebul
kvasek [131]
The nebular theory describes the formation of the solar system and states that the system began as a gigantic cloud of gas and dust called a nebula which eventually condensed to form the sun, planets and other objects in the solar system. The first fact speaks to the formation of the planets, where gravity pulled larger clumps of material closer to form solid rocky planets closer to the sun and gas giants further out. The second requirement is that a nearby explosion or super nova would have to disturb our nebula to trigger rotation and the eventual formation of the sun. The third requirement/fact is that the planets go around the sun in the same direction. the last fact is that the planets go around the sun within 6 degrees of a common plane. This indicates that the solar system formed from a spinning disk of materials.
