How do protons work?

Answer 1

Protons are particles of matter, each having a positive charge. Since all protons have a positive charge, they repel each other magnetically, but atomic nuclei bind protons and neutrons together with a strong nuclear force whose strength exceeds that of the magnetic force which would otherwise repel the protons apart. The nucleus of a hydrogen atom consists of a single proton (heavier isotopes also possessing one or more neutrons); thus a 'free' proton (a proton without an electron orbiting it) is a hydrogen atom nucleus.

When two atoms fuse in nuclear fusion, protons can get smashed together to form a variety of other particles, such as neutrons and positrons; in elements lighter than iron, this results in an overall loss of mass with the lost mass converted into energy (which is where the energy in nuclear fusion comes from: some of the mass is converted into energy).

Answer 2

protons are positively charged subatomic particles. this is due to the belief that they further subdivide into 2 up-quarks and one down-quark. these further break down into strings. over all, the vibrations of these different types of one-dimensional "loops" decide the properties of what they make up.

Answer 3

Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They help hold the nucleus together through the electromagnetic force, which attracts them to the negatively charged electrons orbiting the nucleus. Protons also determine the atomic number of an element, which defines its chemical properties.

Answer 4

protons have a positive charge and are always with a neutron to make a nucleus
