in the nucleus
no. elements are categorized by the number of protons. also if there are no protons. then it is no longer an atom
A stable atom of hydrogen (H)
The number of protons varies for different elements. For example, Hydrogen has only one proton in each atom. That's what makes hydrogen hydrogen. If it had two protons, it would be helium. If there were no protons, then it wouldn't be anything.
A hydrogen atom has 1 proton in its nucleus. Since the helium-4 atom has twice as many protons as hydrogen, it has 2 protons. Helium-4 also has 2 neutrons, hence the name "4" representing the total number of protons and neutrons.
The "NUMBER" (#) of Protons in an Atom of Hydrogen is one (1). The number of protons is what makes a specific element that element. Hydrogen always has one proton no matter what. If someone says that a hydrogen atom has two protons(they are incorrect), it is no longer hydrogen; it is the element Helium.
protons
A standard hydrogen atom has 1 proton. The Atomic Number of any element is the number of protons that element has.
No. Elements are given their names (like "Hydrogen" or "Gold") solely on their number of protons. If a Hydrogen atom had any other number of protons than one, it would not be a Hydrogen atom.
. 1
It depends on the atom (i.e Hydrogen), but normally it is protons and neutrons.
hydrogen atom
Not quite. You can have an atom of an element, for example an atom of Hydrogen, but not a Hydrogen of an atom. The parts of an atom are protons (positively charged), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negatively charged).
