Lithium has the lowest number of protons of any metal: 3.
Hydrogen an helium have fewer protons bu they are not metals.
the number of protons in an atom is what determines which element the atom is. So if an atom "lost" a proton, it would become another element entirely.
there are no atoms in a proton. a Proton is a part in the nuleus of an atom. the other parts of an atom are neutrons and electrons
number of proton
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
The proton number of an atom determines what element it is an atom of. That is, it determines the chemical properties of the atom. It does this because the charge on the neutron is neutral, which means that the total charge of the nucleus is equal to the proton number, which it turn means that the number of electrons in the uncharged atom is equal to the proton number. And that in turn determines which electron shells will be filled and what valence electrons available. In this context, the proton number of the nucleus is the atomic number of theelement.
Hydrogen has only one proton (atomic number 1). It has its nucleus and its single proton.
Protons are the positively charged particles found in the nucleus of the atom.
Atomic number = number of proton in an atom Thus atomic number of an atom with 11 protons is 11.
proton
We don't use a atomic number for a proton. But atomic number is the number of protons an atom contains.
Hydrogen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 1.
