Under normal circumstances protons will not move; they are contained in the nucleus of atoms. However, in the case of the element hydrogen, which is made of one proton and one electron, it is possible to create a hydrogen plasma. In this state, the electron is stripped off the proton and a "naked" proton is left. This naked proton, being electrically charged, can be made to move by a magnetic field.

Are protons free to drift in metals?
In metals protons are free to move btw atoms throughout the piece of metal.
What are electrons that do not move freely called?
protons????
Atoms may emit light energy when?
protons move to a higher energy level protons move to a lower energy level electrons move to a higher energy level electrons move to a lower energy level
What is needed for a charge to move?
protons and electrons are needed for a charge to move. hope I helped! Bye!
What happens to the atomic number as you move down the alkal metal group?
The atomic number increases, because as you move from top to bottom, you are adding protons to the nucleus, and atomic number is the number of protons.
Why does current generally involve the flow of electrons but not protons?
The protons are bound inside the nucleus and are not free. In conductors, the electrons are free to move.
What is the location on protons and neutrons and electrons?
Neutrons and protons are placed in the atomic nucleus; electrons move surrounding this nucleus in clouds of electrons.
The space in which the electrons move is huge compared to the space occupied by the?
protons space
In Bohr and model of the atom where are the electrons and protons located?
In this model, the electrons move or orbit around the protons that are at the center of the atom. Electrons move around the nucleus, which contains the proton, in orbits that have a definite size and energy.
Atoms are positively charged particles that move around electrons?
No. First, atoms have no overall charge (they are electrically neutral) because they have the same number of protons and electrons. Second, there are protons, neutrons and electrons within the atom, and they are collectively termed sub-atomic particles. It is the electrons that move around the nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are).
What did ruthford gold foil experiment proved?
that protons can ,move to one electron to the other
Why protons are not considered a source of moving charges for current flow?
Protons don't usually move around (except as ions, or parts of ions, in a solution). Electrons move around much more easily, because of their much lower mass.
