An atom's atomic number gives its number of protons. Fluorine's atomic number is 9. Thus, it has 9 protons, regardless of isotope.

How many electrons in hydrogen are in the nucleus?

No electrons are in the nucleus. the nucleus consists of a proton for normal hydrogen, a proton and neutron for deuterium and a proton and two neutrons for tritium. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.

What is the difference between a neutron a electron a proton and a nucleus?

The nucleus is the cental part of atoms. It is so small, that the dimension of nucleus is like 1/ 1.000.000.000.000.000 m. Nucleus is form by the protons and the neutrons. Proton have positive electrical charge. Neutron don`t have elctrical charge. All protons and all neutrons form together the nucleus. Because of this, the nucleus are positive electrical charge. Each atomic element have a specific numbers of protons. This is deffinitory for atomic behavior, the number of protons. For example hidrogen have only one proton. But, the same atomic species can have many neutrons, and this different forms, with the same protons, but with different numbers of neutrons are called isotope, and are very important for radiation physics. For example, the hidrogen have three isotopes : hidrogen (nucleus have only one proton), deuterium (1 proton and 1 neutron) and trithium (1 proton, 2 neutrons) (this is beta- radioactive). Electrons are the negative electrical part, outside of nucleus, smaller then protons and neutrons. All the electrons orbits around the nucleus, and this orbits are at like 1/ 10.000.000.000 m. Electrons are not a part of nucleus. In physics we know some strage behavior, when some electrons (called Auger electrons ) comes from nucleus, but this is other part of story, and the answers we will can find in nuclear physics and particles interactions science.


What is electron capture?

Simply put, electron capture is a nuclear change that an atom might undergo when there are "too many" protons in its nucleus. This atom is unstable, and an electron from an inner orbit will actually be "pulled into" the nucleus. Once there, the electron will "combine" with a proton, and the proton will be transformed into a neutron. This will result in the formation of a new element as a result of the nuclear transformation.

How many protons are in the H nucleus?

Hydrogen has just one proton. If the nucleus also has a neutron, the isotope is called Deuterium.


How many particales are in the nucleus of a hydrogen atom?

In a normal hydrogen atom, not an ion or an isotope, there are two particles in the nucleus - one proton, one neutron - and one electron circling it. Of course, if it were a positive ion there would be one proton and nuetron, but no electrons.

Why do positron emission and electron capture have the same effect on a nucleus?

The reason positron emission and electron capture have the same effect on the nucleus of an atom is because the resulting atom undergoes nuclear transformation, and the new element will have one less proton and one more neutron than the precursor element. Both of these nuclear changes are interesting, so let's look a bit more closely. In positron emission (also called beta plus decay), a proton in the nucleus of an atom "changes" into a neutron and a positron is ejected. This results in one less proton in that nucleus (naturally), and the creation of a new element. And because the proton had become a neutron, the nucleus has the same number of nucleons and a similar atomic weight. In electron capture, a nucleus with "too many" protons will actually "pull in" an electron and take it into its nucleus. This electron will "combine" with a proton, and a neutron will result. This will reduce the number of protons in the nucleus, and the creation of a new element -- just like in positron emission. Links to related questions can be found below.

How can you divide how many elements are in a atom?

An atom is the smallest part of an element. The atom consists of nucleus with protons and neutrons and electrons surrounding the nucleus. Both the neutron and proton are hadrons composed of quarks. The electron is a quark.


What are two part of nucleus are?

do you mean cell, if so there are many different types of cells, human cell, plant cell The nucleus of an atom is composed of a single proton (usually), a proton and a neutron (rarely) or a proton and two neutrons (extremely rarely) in the case of hydrogen. I the case of all the other elements, both protons and neutrons will be present in varying quantities, depending on which element - and on which isotope of a given element - is being specified. The protons and neutrons are called nucleons when we refer to them as part of an atomic nucleus. A nucleon could be either a proton or a neutron in this case.


How many proton neutron electrons in a hydrogen isotope with mass of 2?

1 proton and 1 neutron is needed because the 2 in hydrogen 2 refers to the atomic mass and protons and neutron have a mass of about 2 daltons each.

How does beta radiation occur?

The underlying reason for beta decay is nuclear instability. Some atoms have a nucleus that is unstable because the proton-neutron ratio is "unstable" for that nucleus. In beta decay (there are two types), the weak interaction (which some might call the weak force) mediates a transformation that transmutes the nucleus. A neutron is converted into a proton with the ejection of an electron in beta minus decay. In beta plus decay, a proton is converted into a neutron with the ejection of a positron (anti-electron). A link is provided below for more information.The beta decay can be represented as:ZXA ------->Z+1YA +-1e0 +EBwhere EB is the emitted beta particle
