The scientist said "Are you positive"
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
An acidic hydrogen atom is a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron and is running around as a hydrogen ion. The lone proton (in 1H) has loaned out its electron in a chemical reaction, like to chlorine in HCl, and when HCl is combined with water, the H and the Cl separate into H+ and Cl- ions. That H+ ion is the acidic hydrogen atom.
Oxidation number describes gain of electrons. It involves addition of oxygen and removal of hydrogen.
Very positive. Absolutely certain.OK, an old joke: A Hydrogen atom and a Helium atom are walking down the street, when Hydrogen trips and falls. The Hydrogen atom immediately starts looking for something. The Helium atom says "Did you drop something?" Hydrogen says "I lost an electron."Helium says "Are you sure?" "Yes", replied Hydrogen; "I'm POSITIVE!"For each atom, and for each electron level, there is a measure of the force required to remove that electron from the atom. Given a high enough temperature and pressure, it's possible to strip ALL of the electrons from an atom, leaving a bare nucleus. This is typical in stellar cores, but uncommon elsewhere.Kazyan: Re7+ is the most highly charged that occurs in normal conditions, but science has produced U92+ under extreme ionizing circumstances.

proton
After it has lost an electron, a hydrogen ion contains one proton and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope (usually none).

Hydrogen (H) is not the same as the Hydrogen ion H+. H+ is the term for a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron. Since the number of electrons is not equal to the number of protons, it is called an ion. Since the hydrogen atom is comprised of one proton and one electron, the hydrogen ion H+ is simply a proton.
A Hydrogen atom is one proton, one electron. The ion has lost the 1 electron, but it is still the same element, if that's what you mean. Protons are used to define what the element is.
The H+ ion has a positive charge because it has lost one electron. Since hydrogen has only one electron in its base state, H+ has no electrons. The positive charge of the ion occurs because the hydrogen atom has lost an electron. Electrons are negatively charged particles; therefore, losing an electron causes the hydrogen atom to become more positive (less negative) than before.
When the Isotopes of Hydrogen, Deuterium and Tritium enter into a Fusion Reaction, the "lost mass" is released as a Burst of Energy. Think of Einstein's Equation for the interchangeability of Energy and Matter; E equals M X C^2 ... (did I hear someone mutter, 'hydrogen bomb?') BTW: Do not try this experiment at home.
No, the former answer (striked through below this) is very wrong!Hydrogen (elemental H atom) contains only 1 (one!) electron (1s1) and since a H ion (H+) has lost that one to become stable, this H+ ion has no (zero!) electrons at all.Only the very rare and exceptional, negatively charged hydride ion H- ion contains two electrons (1s2 configuration, not favoured, not enough electronegativity)Yes. A Hydrogen atom "wants" to be stable, so it gains an electron to be iso-electronic with helium. After that, its electron configuration is 1s2. H+
