Where are protons found in the atom?
outside the nucleus
within electrons
in the orbital
in the nucleus
Rutherford proposed a new atomic model that described the atom as comprised of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. In this model, most of the atom was thought to be empty space. *Protons are positively charged and have a relatively large mass compared to electrons. Protons can be found in the nucleus of the atom.
