Identify the location of subatomic particles within an atom. The nucleus is the central part of an atom.
Recall the types of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the charge of each subatomic particle: protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge (neutral), and electrons have a negative charge.
Determine which subatomic particle is located in the nucleus and has a positive charge. Both protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, but only protons have a positive charge.
Conclude that the subatomic particle found in the nucleus with a positive charge is the proton.
