No. Elements are given their names (like "Hydrogen" or "Gold") solely on their number of protons. If a Hydrogen atom had any other number of protons than one, it would not be a Hydrogen atom.

How is light water light different than heavy water?

Heavy water is heavier than light water because instead of both hydrogen atoms in the molecule being ordinary light hydrogen (H - one proton) one or both hydrogen atoms are heavy hydrogen (D - one proton, one neutron).


What element has 1 more proton than hydrogen?

The atomic number is equivalent to its number of protons. One proton in atom is its atomic number is 1. Hydrogen is the only atom with one proton.


Is an inert gas and has one more proton than hydrogen?

The gas is helium. Helium is inert and has 2 protons, while hydrogen has 1 proton.


What has more mass hydrogen or helium?

Helium has more mass than hydrogen. Helium is composed of two protons and two neutrons, while hydrogen is a single proton.


Why does hydrogen occur in diatomic form?

Hydrogen occurs in diatomic form (H2) because it is more stable this way. Hydrogen atoms are more stable when they are paired together, sharing electrons, rather than existing as lone atoms. This diatomic form is the most energetically favorable arrangement for hydrogen molecules.


Who many protons and neutrons in the element of hydrogen?

The most common form of Hydrogen, forming more than 99.9% of all hydrogen atoms in the universe, (sometimes known as Hydrogen-1) has one proton in the nucleus and one electron ( with no neutrons ). There are, however, other forms (isotopes) of hydrogen that can be stable, such as Hydrogen-2 ( also known as deuterium ), which has one neutron and one proton in the nucleus as well as one electron.


What is the difference between hydrodgen and hellium?

Helium has one more proton than hydrogen


How are hydrogen 1 and hydrogen 2 alike?

Both hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 are isotopes of hydrogen, with hydrogen-1 being the most common isotope and hydrogen-2 being a rare isotope known as deuterium. Both isotopes consist of one proton in their nucleus, but deuterium also has one neutron alongside the proton, making it heavier than hydrogen-1.


What is an inert gas and has 1 more protons?

I believe your question is incomplete. What is an inert gas and has one more proton... one more proton than what, exactly? Than hydrogen? If so, the answer would be helium.


Amount of hydrogen atoms in the sun?

There are about 15×1029 kilograms of hydrogen in the Sun so more than 1 ×1055 atoms


What are positive atoms are also called?

Positively charged atoms are called ions, specifically cations. Hydrogen when ionised as H+ is a bare proton.


In a heavy water reactor what is in the reactor water molecules instead of hydrogen?

The heavy water in a heavy water reactor is water where many of the regular hydrogen atoms (one proton and one electron) are replaced by heavy hydrogen (or deuterium) which has one proton, one electron, and one neutron. The addition of the neutron in the hydrogen atoms increases the mass (weight) of the water molecules and changes its chemical and physical properties making it useful in a heavy water reactor.Normal water is H2O or two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. There is an isotope of hydrogen named deuterium. Deuterium is heavier than hydrogen but it's still hydrogen, so if one or more of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with deuterium it creates heavy water. So the water in a heavy water reactor is just water with deuterium atoms rather than ordinary hydrogen atoms. This is probably confusing but it is water and you could drink it without harm. But, don't drink a lot because the body is used to the lighter water.
