A. The nucleus contains protons, so it has a positive charge.
B. The nucleus contains protons, so it has a negative charge.
C. The nucleus contains the neutrons so it has a neutral charge\
D. The nucleus contains the electrons, so it has a negative charge.

Answer 1

A.
because the nucleus contains protons and neutrons BUT neutrons are neutral and protons are positive, so the answer is A

Answer 2

A. The nucleus contain protons, so it has a positive charge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nucleus is the dense core of an atom which contains protons and neutrons.

Protons have positive charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons are negatively charged.

But electrons are present in the energy level i.e. outside nucleus, that is why a nucleus contains positive charge.
