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.

A proton is a subatomic particle that is too small to be seen with the naked eye. It is a positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom and is composed of three quarks held together by the strong nuclear force. In terms of visual representation, protons are often depicted as small spheres or points in diagrams.

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 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
Hydrogen number of protons?

Where is the proton found in atom?
where is proton in atom
A hydrogen ion is often reffered to as a?
Proton.
Can a proton decay?
As of current scientific understanding, protons are considered stable particles and are not known to decay. They are the building blocks of ordinary matter and have been observed to have an extremely long lifetime, with a lower limit of at least 10^34 years for proton stability based on experimental observations.
What Hydrogen look like?
Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas at room temperature. It is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. In its pure form, hydrogen molecules consist of two hydrogen atoms bonded together.
What does the bohr model for deuterium look like?
A nucleus, consisting of one proton and one neutron, surrounded by one electron.

A proton has a what?
A proton has a positive charge.
Is the mass of a proton is about the same as the mass of an electron?
No, go look up their masses.
Is a proton is a proton is a proton. True or False?
If a proton, is a proton then it is a proton. (True).
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.(:
