Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the three main subatomic particles in an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Understand the charge of each particle: protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge (neutral).
Identify the location of each particle within the atom: protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit around the nucleus.
Since the question asks for a positively charged particle located in the nucleus, focus on particles in the nucleus with positive charge.
Conclude that the proton is the subatomic particle with a positive charge located in the nucleus of an atom.
