Nitrogen atoms have 7 protons in their nuclei. You can know this because the atomic number of nitrogen is 7, and the atomic number is the number of protons. So the element that has one less proton than nitrogen in the nuclei of its atoms is carbon, which is atomic number 6, so it has 6 protons in the nuclei of its atoms.

Is the proton smaller than the electron?

Actually every proton has different size in different nucleus. But in general, Proton, 1x10-15 m or "a diameter of approximately one-millionth of a nanometer". The electron, the diameter is less than 1x10-18 m. Likewise, The diameter of an electron is less than 1/1000 the diameter of a proton.


Could a nucleus of more than one proton but no nucleus exist?

No , because the neutrons have the same particles as the nucleus.

Which is bigger a helium nucleus or helium proton?

The helium nucleus is larger than the proton. The He nucleus consists of two protons, and one (rarely) or two (most commonly) neutrons. (These are He-3 and He-4, respectively.) That would make the helium nucleus a multiple of three or four times the mass of that of a single proton.


When a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron a proton is ejected. What element is formed?

When a mercury-202 nucleus is bombarded with a neutron and a proton is ejected, the resulting nucleus will have one less proton than the original mercury nucleus. Mercury (Hg) has an atomic number of 80, so after losing a proton, the new element formed will be gold (Au), which has an atomic number of 79. Thus, the reaction transforms mercury-202 into gold-201.


Could a nucleus of more than one proton but no neutrons exist?

No , because the neutrons have the same particles as the nucleus.


What happens when a proton is added to a capsule of germanium nucleus?

When a proton is added to a germanium nucleus, the overall charge of the nucleus increases by one unit, making it less stable. This can lead to the germanium nucleus undergoing beta decay to regain stability, where a proton is converted into a neutron by emitting a positron and a neutrino.
