As the question was originally posted in "Chemistry" by the person who asked it, the inquiry isn't about the vehicle. A proton is a subatomic particle. Some might refer to it as a hydrogen nucleus, which is also correct. It is so small that it cannot be seen in any conventional sense. Nothing that uses light reflected from an object to resolve it can be used on a proton. The diameter of a proton is about 1.6 to 1.7 x 10-15 meters. Forget trying to bounce photons off a proton, catch them on the rebound, and make a picture with them. A link to a website that has pictures of all of the protons is provided.

∙ 15y agoThey don't look like anything, since you can't see them.
No, I don't mean to say that they're so small you need some special equipment to see them; I mean they're so small you can't see them even in theory. For various reasons you can't use light to see things that are smaller than its own wavelength, and the wavelength of blue light (almost the shortest wavelength of light we can see) is something on the order of 1000 times longer than an atom is wide, depending on how you define the radius of the atom. And protons, neutrons, and electrons are much, much smaller even than that. You can by various means figure out where they are, sometimes, and how many of them there are, but you could never ever see one.

∙ 9y agoA hydrogen atom has a single proton as its nucleus with no neutrons. Around the nucleus is a single electron in an s shaped orbital cloud.

∙ 14y agoUnknown... it's a subatomic particle, meaning it essentially can't be seen.

∙ 15y agoWe will never know; protons are far too small to see. If we COULD see them, they would likely be blurry from the vibration.

∙ 11y agoThey don't "look" like anything. They're significantly smaller than visible wavelengths of light, so they cannot possibly be "seen."

umm, they r so small it's hard to see them not even
with any tool i think?

What Hydrogen look like?
Hydrogen consists of an Atomic nucleus and one proton. It is a gas and it's clear.
What is the proton number for Uranium-235?
92, the proton number is also called the atomic number if you need to look up something else
Can a proton decay?
If a proton dies then that mean's everything in the entire universe will be destroyed but it will take an extremely long amount of time. But nobody can prove if a proton has died because there are so many of them, you simply cannot keep track of the amount of them. In theory a proton is stable.
A neutral particle with nearly the same mass as the proton is the?
Look in your science textbook, kiddo. Or google it.
What is the positively charge atomic particle of an atom called?
A Proton
What Hydrogen look like?
Hydrogen consists of an Atomic nucleus and one proton. It is a gas and it's clear.
What does the bohr model for deuterium look like?
A nucleus, consisting of one proton and one neutron, surrounded by one electron.
What is the proton number for Uranium-235?
92, the proton number is also called the atomic number if you need to look up something else
A proton has a what?
A proton has a positive charge.
Is a proton is a proton is a proton. True or False?
If a proton, is a proton then it is a proton. (True).
Is the mass of a proton is about the same as the mass of an electron?
No, go look up their masses.
What is the proton electric charge and location in an atom?
Proton has uni-positive charge and is found within the nucleus
Can you generate the electricity by the moving of proton as electron?
No. While the proton has the opposite charge of the electron, the proton will not flow from atom to atom like the electron does because the strong atomic force holding the proton in the nucleus is much more powerful than the electromagnetic force.
What you look at to determine the number of protons in an atom?
look at the atomic number...for example, if hydrogen's atomic number's one then it also has one proton.(:
How proton neutron and electrons are alike and different?
they all like cake
What is a positively charged subatomic paricle?
The proton is a positively charged subatomic particle
Can a proton decay?
If a proton dies then that mean's everything in the entire universe will be destroyed but it will take an extremely long amount of time. But nobody can prove if a proton has died because there are so many of them, you simply cannot keep track of the amount of them. In theory a proton is stable.
