Which of the following best describes a proton? Select two correct answers.

• It has a negative charge and about the same mass as an electron.

• It has a negative charge and about the same mass as a neutron.

• It has a positive charge and about the same mass as a neutron.

• It has a positive charge and is located outside the nucleus.

• It has a positive charge and is located inside the nucleus.

Explain why the number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

• Because electrons and protons are the same particles.

• Because the charges of electrons and protons cancel each other out.

• Because neutrons balance the number of electrons.

• Because the atomic number is always even.
