It is very simple. The hydrogen atom is composed of a nucleus with only one proton and an electron around the nucleus.

How many particles do you need for an atom?

At least two: 1 proton + 1 electron = Hydrogen atom


How many steps occur in the nuclear fusion inside the sun?

To get an overview over this process, search for "proton-proton chain reaction" in Wikipedia or other online resources. In the proton-proton nuclear reaction, either three or five steps occur. Initially, we see the fusion of two hydrogen-1 nuclei to form a hydrogen-2 nucleus. We also need another of these reactions to create another hydrogen-2 nucleus. That's either one or two steps, depending on your point of view. Now we see a hydrogen-2 nucleus fuse with a hydrogen-1 nucleus to create a helium-3 nucleus. And we need two of those helium-3 nuclei, so that's a total of one or two more steps, and yet again it depends on your point of view. Lastly, we see the two helium-3 nuclei fuse to form a helium-4 nucleus (with the release of two hydrogen-1 nuclei). That's a total of three steps or five steps, depending on how you want to look at the first fusion reactions to create hydrogen-2 and helium-3.

Why does every element except hydrogen need at least one neutron in its neucleus?

Every element except hydrogen needs at least one neutron in its nucleus because it needs attractive force from the strong nuclear interaction to counter the electrostatic repulsion between the protons.


How many neutrons does hydrodgen have?

Hydrogen has three naturally occurring isotopes:Protium or 1H has only a single proton in its nucleus (no neutrons) and is by far the most common isotope (~99.9885% of all hydrogen atoms are protium)Deuterium or 2H has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus and is the second most common isotope (~0.0115% of all hydrogen atoms are deuterium)Tritium or 3H contains one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus and occurs in very small trace amounts in nature (less than 0.00001%)4H with 3 neutrons, 5H with 4 neutrons, 6H with 5 neutrons and 7H with 6 neutrons have been produced artificially in the lab but they all have half-life of less than 10-21 seconds.


How break nucleus from proton?

Well, the question as asked does not actually make physical sense. No disrespect intended. You see, the 'proton' is itself regarded as the nucleus in the pure hydrogen atom (one + charge particle, the 'proton', and one - charge particle, the electron). As such, the 'proton' IS the nucleus.In heavier elements the 'proton' is part of the nucleus when combined with a neutron.Good luck in your search for knowledge. But better hard work than luck.


How do you create a proton?

Essentially, you don't; you use existing ones. If you need to generate, say, a beam of protons, typically you'd start with hydrogen and ionize it; removing an electron from a hydrogen atom results in a bare proton.


Which of the follwing is false about a neutral atom of hydrogen?

To accurately identify a false statement about a neutral atom of hydrogen, we need specific options to evaluate. However, in general, a neutral atom of hydrogen has one proton in its nucleus and one electron orbiting it, resulting in no overall charge. If a statement claims that a neutral hydrogen atom has more than one electron or a different number of protons, it would be false.

How can you use the word neutrons in a sentence?

Hydrogen has one proton, and one electron. However deuterium is hydrogen with one neutrons. Tritium has one proton and two neutrons.


How would you draw the atoms for the following elements h he?

I am guessing that you are talking about the two elements hydrogen and helium. If you want to draw a orbital model, first draw the nucleus. For hydrogen, make sure that there is one proton and however many neutrons you need. For helium, there must be two protons and at least two neutrons. Then, for hydrogen, you draw one electron in the first shell. For helium, you draw two. There are many other ways to symbolize the different elements, such as the electron cloud model, but that's extremely hard to draw.


What would result from the fusion of two hydrogen nuclei with an oxygen nucleus?

An unstable mess called Neon-18, which has a half-life of under two seconds. To get the stable neon (neon-20) we've all come to love, you need 10 protons and 10 neutrons. Fusing an oxygen nucleus (8 of each) with two hydrogen nuclei (1 proton, no neutron) would create neon-18 which falls apart the second after you make it.
