The Higgs boson is analogous to other bosons (photon, muon, gluon, graviton, etc.) which couple forces.

Atoms are composed of fermions bound together by exchanging various virtual bosons (e.g. electrons are bound to the nucleus by exchanging virtual photons, the protons and neutrons in the nucleus are bound together by exchanging virtual muons, the quarks are bound inside protons and neutrons by exchanging virtual gluons), no real bosons of any type exist in an atom (although some atoms are themselves bosons even though they are entirely composed of fermions).

The Higgs boson is believed to be an elementary particle; in this sense, it's more comparable to an electron or a quark, rather than an atom (which consists of several particles), or even a proton (which is also made up of smaller particles, namely the quarks).

What percentage of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson?

About 2% of an atom's mass is caused by the Higgs boson. The rest is due to the effect of the Strong Nuclear Force.

Is the Higgs boson on the periodic table?

No. The periodic table contains the elements, which are made of atoms. The Higgs boson is a much smaller particle than an atom. Yes, but it was a theoretical element until recently when its presence was proved. The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle that apparently weighs 130 times as much as an atom of hydrogen, the lightest gas.

There is no god atom. You may be confused with the god particle, a sometimes-used name for the Higg's boson, but no atom bears any relationship to any god whatsoever.

What is the relationship between the number of protons and the number of electrons in an atom?

For a neutral atom, the relationship between the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the same.


What is the space between an electron and proton in hydrogen atom filled with?

We can imagine the space between an electron and a proton, in a hydrogen atom, being filled with electromagnetic fields, since both of these particles generate such fields. But really, that is a mathematical device more than a reality. It's empty space. It isn't filled with anything.Answer:The space in an atom is part of the probability density gradient of the electron. Electrons are not any place in particular at any time (the Bohr concept of a solid little planet-like electrons circling the nucleus is not with us any longer), the space between the our "shell" of the atom and the nucleus represents an area where the electron is less likely to be than any other place in the atom. This space is thus filled with the electron, at least part of the time.Alternately, thanks to research on the Higgs boson's existence, there is a position that that a field exists that has non-zero strength everywhere (even in otherwise empty space) this is the this so-called Higgs field. This would fill any space in the atom as well as around the atom.
