What is the proton for xenon?
A proton is a subatomic particle which is the same in whichever element it is found. A proton from a Xenon atom is no different to that from a Hydrogen atom or a Uranium atom.
Does hydrogen have electrons than Uranium?
No, Uranium has far more electrons. In a neutral atom number of electrons=number of protons=atomic number. Hydrogen has 1 electron. Uranium has 92.
How is a hydrogen atom is different than a proton?
A hydrogen atom consists of a proton in its nucleus along with an electron orbiting around it. A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom and carries a positive charge. In comparison, a hydrogen atom is a neutral particle since it has an equal number of protons and electrons.
Is hydrogen carbonate the same as hydrogen as hydrogen ion?
No, hydrogen carbonate (HCO3-) is a polyatomic ion composed of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms. A hydrogen ion (H+) is a singular positively charged hydrogen atom. Hydrogen ions can combine with other elements to form various compounds, including hydrogen carbonate.
What number of electrons in a neutral atom of an element will be equal to?
The amount of electrons is balanced by the same amount of protons in a neutral atom, such as for the neutral hydrogen atom; it has 1 proton and 1 electron.
How H and H2 both can be elements?
H symbolises one hydrogen atom. H2 symbolises two hydrogen atoms bonded together or sharing electrons. They are the same because they contain only one type of atom: the hydrogen atom, one proton and one electron
Is the Mass of hydrogen atom is about the same as a proton?
Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
What can be considered to be the combination of a proton and an electron?
The pair form a hydrogen atom.There is a fallacy that's taught about this pairing, which is that the electron-proton pair form a neutron. See my answer to the question "What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?" for more details about this, and why it is wrong.
What is the difference between excited hydrogen atom and any other atom?
Hydrogen atom = 1 proton 1 electron Hydrogen's 1 electron occupies the lowest energy level, 1s orbital. The atom is therefore in its "ground state". When a photon of correct frequency "collides" with a electron in hydrogen's 1s orbital the energy contained in the photon is transferred to the electron. The electron then gets added energy, so it is at a higher energy state. When it reaches this higher energy state the electron jumps to the next energy level and there it starts its new orbit. Hydrogen atom is now "excited" For any other atoms it is the same thing because all atoms can undergo excitation. The only difference between hydrogen's 1 electron and other atom's many electrons is WHICH ELECTRON will be "excited"
Is hydrogen and hydronium the same?
No, hydrogen and hydronium are not the same. Hydrogen is a single atom with one proton and one electron, while hydronium is a molecule consisting of three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, with an extra proton, giving it a positive charge.
When an electron in H changes it's spin from the same to the opposite direction as the proton?
When an electron in a hydrogen atom changes its spin from the same direction to the opposite direction as the proton, it results in a flip in the direction of the overall magnetic moment of the atom. This process is known as electron spin-flip or spin transition, and can affect the atom's magnetic properties.
What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?
No partial or complete atom has anywhere near 12,000 times the mass of a hydrogen atom. The mass of the hydrogen atom is 1 atomic mass unit (AMU), corresponding to the single proton in its nucleus. The largest, most massive atom that presently occurs naturally on Earth is that of Uranium. The heaviest form of Uranium has 238 protons and neutrons in its nucleus, for an atomic mass of around 238. All of these mass numbers correspond to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The electrons surrounding the nucleus are largely ignored, for a few reasons: -- Electrons come and go, get added to and separated from atoms, rather easily. -- 1 proton or 1 neutron have as much mass as about 1,840 electrons, so a few electrons more or less doesn't make much difference in the mass of an atom. -- The most complex atom ... Uranium again ... normally has only about 92 electrons, which amounts to only about 5 percent of one proton or neutron, so they don't have much impact on an atomic mass of 238 .
