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).

∙ 12y agoprotons 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.

∙ 14y agoprotons have a positive charge and are always with a neutron to make a nucleus

What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?
The number of protons determines the type of element that the atom is.One proton = hydrogentwo protons = helium.three protons = lithum.six protons = carbon.seven protons = nitrogen.eight protons = oxygen.etc.If you change the number of protons then you change the element
What is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in n-14?
Nitrogen-14: 7 Protons, 7 Electrons, 7 Neutrons To work this out in the future for other elements: Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number Hope this helps!
How many protons and electrons does vanadium have?
Vanadium has 23 protons. The atomic number is the same as the number of protons.
What are the uses of protons?
The protons help keep the nuclecus intact.The protons decide the atomic number of the atom.The protons balance out the negative charge by the electrons.The protons add mass to the atom.
What if iron had 27 protons?
Iron will never have 27 protons. It always have 26 protons.
How do protons and electrons work together in H₂O?
Yes, protons and electrons do work together in water, except in the dead sea. protons and electrons work together in air and water, that's what makes a blck sink. Rohit
Atoms of different elements always contain different number of what?
well of protons, STOP CHEATING IN WIKIANSWERS AND DO YOUR WORK
Where did moseley pioneer work?
Moseley pioneered work by deducing the numbers of protons in nuclei.
Moseley pioneered work in which of these areas?
Moseley pioneered work by deducing the numbers of protons in nuclei.
What is an element with 6 protons in its nucleus?
Carbon,You can find the number of protons, by looking at an elements Atomic number on the periodic table.DO WORK.
How do you work out atomic number?
the atomic number is the same as the number of protons
How do you work out how many protrons in an element?
The number of protons is the atomic number of the element.
The mass number minus the atomic number is .?
The number of neutrons in the nucleus is not the answer its wrong trust me Mass number = neutrons + protons. Atomic number = protons. Trust yourself to work out the difference.
What happens to an atom if then number of protons change?

What is the number of protons in protons?
Non for it is imposable to have protons in a proton.
What is the number of protons electrons and neutrons in n-14?
Nitrogen-14: 7 Protons, 7 Electrons, 7 Neutrons To work this out in the future for other elements: Protons = Atomic Number Electrons = Atomic Number Neutrons = Atomic Mass - Atomic Number Hope this helps!
How many neutrons does zinc have show work?
Take the isotope of the zinc, for example, 64zinc, and subtract 30 from it. The isotope number is how many protons and neutrons are in the atom, zinc has 30 protons. 64 - 30 = 34.
