Compared to a neutron bouncing off a gold nucleus a neutron bouncing off a hydrogen nucleus has less same or more speed?

Assuming the initial speed of the neutron was the same (and assuming they really bounce, which I am not quite sure): less. When bouncing off a hydrogen nucleus, more momentum will be transferred to the hydrogen, because of its lower mass. Most of the momentum will be transferred, in fact, since the masses are more or less equal.

What is found in the nucleus of all elements except for hydrogen?
A neutron, although this is not always the case as there are hydrogen atoms with neutrons, but hydrogen atoms are the only one which are able to not have a neutron.
The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is formed by?
1 proton and 1 neutron
How many protons are in the H nucleus?
Hydrogen has just one proton. If the nucleus also has a neutron, the isotope is called Deuterium.
What is an example of an atom without a neutron?
The only element that does not have a neutron in its nucleus is hydrogen-1, which consists of one proton and one electron.
What is a isotope for hydrogen?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. It has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, compared to regular hydrogen which has only one proton. Deuterium is slightly heavier than regular hydrogen and is often used in laboratory experiments and as a tracer in scientific studies.
What is in hydrogen nucleus?
In a Hydrogen nucleus there is a proton. Hydrogen is the only element to not have a neutron in it's nucleus.
What is the only atom that does not have a neutron in the nucleus?
Hydrogen.
who particle has greatest mass electron proton neutron or hydrogen nucleus?
hydrgen nucleus

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is formed by?
1 proton and 1 neutron
How many electrons in hydrogen are in the nucleus?
No electrons are in the nucleus. the nucleus consists of a proton for normal hydrogen, a proton and neutron for deuterium and a proton and two neutrons for tritium. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.
How does the mass of the nucleus compared to the mass of electrons?
The mass of a nucleus varies according to the atomic number (ie according to what element it is). For hydrogen , the simplest nucleus, the combined mass of the one proton and the one neutron would be equal in mass to 3672 electrons.

Does the nucleus of the hydrogen atom consist of a single neutron?
1 Proton only
How do the isotopes hydrogen 1 and hydrogen 2 differ?
The basic difference is a neutron. Most hydrogen has a single proton for a nucleus. Hydrogen-2 has a neutron stuck to the proton, and hydrogen-3 has two neutrons stuck to the proton. Hydrogen-3 is a rare and highly unstable form of the first element.
What is the element which do not posses neutron in its nucleus?
There is an isotope of hydrogen called 'protium', which only has 1 proton and 1 electron, with no neutron.
How many protons are in the H nucleus?
Hydrogen has just one proton. If the nucleus also has a neutron, the isotope is called Deuterium.
