9 protons and 9 neutrons are present in F-18 atom
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.
When a nucleus has too many protons, it can undergo a process called electron capture where it absorbs an inner-shell electron to convert a proton into a neutron. This process helps to achieve a more stable nuclear configuration by decreasing the proton-to-neutron ratio.
Hydrogen, being the first element, has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus.
A proton and neutron are both composed of three quarks. An electron is a fundamental particle and is not composed of smaller particles.
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.
Hydrogen has just one proton. If the nucleus also has a neutron, the isotope is called Deuterium.

Deuterium, also called heavy hydrogen, is a stable isotope of Hydrogen.The nucleus of deuterium is called a deuteron, contains ONE proton and (typically for the deuterium isotope) ONE neutron, whereas the far more common hydrogen nucleus contains no neutron.Both contain ONE electron in the 1s-shell, so chemically they are of the same properties.
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.
An atom typically consists of three main particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. The number of protons determines the atom's identity, while the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus gives the atom's mass number.
4He Helium has two protons, two neutrons, and two electrons.
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.
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.
Hydrogen, being the first element, has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus.
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.
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.
