<span /><span /><span>
2) Protons are positive particles that are inside the nuclus of the atom.
</span><span />
<span>3) The nucleus of the atom has the same number of protons as electrons are in the orbitals of the atom.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
4) The atoms are neutral (neither positive nor negative) because there are the same number of electrons and protons and their charge are of the same magnitude but different sign: (+) + (-) = 0: positive + negative = neutral.</span>
