What is in hydrogen nucleus?
In a Hydrogen nucleus there is a proton. Hydrogen is the only element to not have a neutron in it's nucleus.
Which non-metal element has just one proton?
Hydrogen has only one proton (atomic number 1). It has its nucleus and its single proton.
An atom of hydrogen is made up of?
All isotopes of hydrogen contain one proton. The single thing that makes each element unique is the number of protons in its nucleus. Only that. Neutron count can vary with different isotopes of an element, and electron count can vary as we see an atom loan or borrow electrons. Proton count always identifies an element, and nothing else. The word "isotope" means the same element, with the same properties, but with different numbers of neutrons. Most hydrogen atoms have one proton and no neutrons. Deuterium is the isotope that has one proton and one neutron, and tritium has one proton and two neutrons.Hydrogen with oxygen forms water; deuterium and oxygen forms "heavy water". Tritium is radioactive, and decays into helium-3.
The atomic number is the number of what in an element?
An element's atomic number is a count of how many protons are normally part of the element's nucleus. Since protons are normally the only particle in the nucleus with a charge (+), the atomic number also represents the charge of the nucleus.
How do the isotopes hydrogen 1 and hydrogen 2 differ?
The basic difference is a neutron. Most hydrogen has a single proton for a nucleus. Hydrogen-2 has a neutron stuck to the proton, and hydrogen-3 has two neutrons stuck to the proton. Hydrogen-3 is a rare and highly unstable form of the first element.
What element commonly has only a proton as its nucleus?
Hydrogen
Which element commonly has only a proton as its nucleus?
hudrogen
What is in hydrogen nucleus?
In a Hydrogen nucleus there is a proton. Hydrogen is the only element to not have a neutron in it's nucleus.
What have one proton and no neutrons in its nucleus?
The only element that has one proton and no neutrons is a hydrogen atom.
Which elements contains only one protron?
Only one element has single proton(proton is correct spelling). The element is Hydrogen. It has a single proton in it's nucleus and no neutrons. A single electron revolves around in s subshell of 1st energy shell( K shell). A Hydrogen atom which has lost it's electron can be said to be proton. No other element known has single proton in the nucleus (protons only reside in nucleus of atom) of it's atom.
What element does not have a neutron in the nucleus of a atom?
Hydrogen. In classical atomic theory, it contains only a proton.
Which subatomic particle identifies an atom of a particular element?
It's the count of one of the subatomic particles in the nucleus, the proton, that is significant in this regard. For example, an atom is hydrogen if and only if it has one proton in its nucleus. It is neon if and only if it has ten protons in its nucleus.
Is proton not found in the nucleus of an atom?
No, the proton is only found in the nucleus of an atom, not elsewhere.
Which non-metal element has just one proton?
Hydrogen has only one proton (atomic number 1). It has its nucleus and its single proton.
What is the element which do not posses neutron in its nucleus?
There is an isotope of hydrogen called 'protium', which only has 1 proton and 1 electron, with no neutron.
Why is hydrogen the 1st element?
It has the lowest atomic number (one) as its nucleus contains only one proton (and (usually) no neutrons).
What is the smallest element that maintains the properties of an element?
The smallest element on the Periodic Table is Hydrogen. It has only 1 electron in 1 electron shell and 1 proton in it's nucleus.
