Answer:
Protons
Explanation:
Typically protons cannot be removed from the atom. Removing protons from an atom will completely change the atom as it will become another element entirely.
In an atom, protons are held by strong nuclear forces.
- Within an atom, protons are the positively charged particles.
- Together with the neutrons, they are found in the nucleus of an atom.
- The number of protons within an atom is the atomic number of the atoms and it determines the nature and type of atom it is.
- Protons cannot be removed from an atom due to the strong binding force holding them together in place.
