Explain why a neutral atom cannot have one proton one neutron and two electrons?
an atom with a neutral charge must have the same number of protons as electrons. (think of a proton as having a +1 charge and an electron having a -1 charge. in order for the atom to be neutral, the positive charges must balance with the negative charges) If the atom has 1 proton and 2 electrons, then the overall charge is -1
How many electrons does it take to equal the mass of 1 proton?
Approximately 1836
How many electrons equal the mass of one Proton?
1836 electrons equal the mass of 1 proton. A proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu, a neutron 1.0087 amu, and an electron 5.486 x 10-4. So, it would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton.
How many neutrons and electrons does hydrogen en have?
Hydrogen has 1 electron, (1 proton) and 0 neutrons.
How many protons electrons and electrons are in hydrogen?
Hydrogen-1 has 1 proton and 1 electron.Hydrogen-2 (deuterium) has 1 proton, 1 electron and 1 neutron.Hydrogen-3 (tritium) has 1 proton, 1 electron and 2 neutrons.etc. for artificial isotopes
How many electrons should be placed on one side of the seesaw to balance it if the other side has 1 proton?
Ambot
What is the proton neutrons and electrons of hydrogen?
1 proton and 1 neutron

How many electron does it take to balance the mass of just 1 proton?
About 1837.This is why you can safely ignore the mass of electrons for any known element in rough calculations; the total mass of the electrons will be well under 0.1 amu.
How many electrons neutrons protons are in hydrogen?
1 proton,1electron and no neutron
How many electrons does it take to equal the mass of 1 proton?
Approximately 1836
How many electrons does hyrogen have?
Hydrogen's atomic number is 1. Thus it has one proton per atom. To balance it out electrically then, hydrogen must also have one electron per atom.
How many electrons equal the mass of one Proton?
1836 electrons equal the mass of 1 proton. A proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu, a neutron 1.0087 amu, and an electron 5.486 x 10-4. So, it would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton.
How many valence electrons are in a hydrogen ion?
It depends on what kind of ion:If it's a cation (H+) then there is 1 proton and 0 electrons, so zero.If it's an anion (H-) then there is 1 proton and 2 electrons, so 2 (and that shell is full).
Why are protons related to electrons with a negative charge?
In a neutral atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Since each proton has a charge of +1, and electrons have a charge of -1, the positive and negative charges balance each other, and the atom will be neutral.
How many neutrons and electrons does hydrogen en have?
Hydrogen has 1 electron, (1 proton) and 0 neutrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons in H1?
There are 1 proton, 0 neutron and 1 electron in H1.
