A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 60 picometers while a proton has a diameter of 1.75 femotometers. So a hydrogen atom's diameter is about 35,000 times that of a proton.
The proton exerts a greater electrostatic force on the electron in a hydrogen atom. This is because the proton has a much larger mass and positive charge compared to the much smaller mass and negative charge of the electron.
No, hydrogen and hydronium are not the same. Hydrogen is a single atom with one proton and one electron, while hydronium is a molecule consisting of three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, with an extra proton, giving it a positive charge.
No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.
Hydrogen fluoride (HF) does not have hydrogen bonds. Instead, it forms polar covalent bonds where the hydrogen atom is partially positively charged and the fluorine atom is partially negatively charged.
When an acid, such as hydrochloric acid or HCl, is added to water, the hydrogen and chlorine split apart forming two ions: H+ and Cl-. The H+ is what makes the acid acidic -- in other words it is the active ingredient in an acid. And because a hydrogen atom only has one proton and one electron in its neutral state, when you have H+, it consists of nothing more than a proton.A lone proton is extremely unstable and this is due to the very high density of charge. It has a single positive charge, but that charge is located on an extremely tiny object (the proton). When in water, the H+ ions will combine with water molecules immediately to form H3O+. You will never find free protons in a water solution -- all are combined with water to form H3O+. Now, that single positive charge is distributed over a much much larger volume because it can be spread out over several atoms in the molecule instead of one single proton (and remember, even a single atom is much much bigger than a proton). H3O+ is called hydronium, and is also referred to as a hydrated proton -- because it is really a water molecule with one extra proton.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_hydrated_proton When an acid, such as hydrochloric acid or HCl, is added to water, the hydrogen and chlorine split apart forming two ions: H+ and Cl-.

Though a hydrogen atom typically has one proton, its mass is not solely determined by the proton. The mass of a hydrogen atom comes from the combination of the proton and an electron. The electron contributes a much smaller amount to the overall mass compared to the proton.
Yes, in general. All hydrogen atoms contain one proton, most with no neutrons and all neutral atoms with one electron - and the electron has a much smaller mass. Some hydrogen atoms contain one (or, rarely, two) neutrons and so are heavier. But on average the atom has a mass much the same as a proton.
The proton exerts a greater electrostatic force on the electron in a hydrogen atom. This is because the proton has a much larger mass and positive charge compared to the much smaller mass and negative charge of the electron.
all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
No, hydrogen and hydronium are not the same. Hydrogen is a single atom with one proton and one electron, while hydronium is a molecule consisting of three hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, with an extra proton, giving it a positive charge.
No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.
The mass of the whole hydrogen atom includes the mass of an electron as well as the proton. The proton mass is nearly 2000 (actually about 1836) times greater than the electron mass. So, the mass of the hydrogen atom isn't much different from the mass of the proton. It's also possible this question could be about isotopes. Hydrogen has rare isotopes with one or two neutrons in the nucleus. So, the average mass of hydrogen, as measured, is usually a bit more than you would expect from just a proton and electron. However, these other isotopes are very rare and the effect on the mass of a sample of hydrogen would be very small.
Yes much bigger! Electrons are so small.
When a hydrogen atom loses its electron, its density remains the same because the mass of the electron is much smaller compared to the mass of the proton in the nucleus. However, the weight of the hydrogen atom decreases since weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on the object, which is determined by the mass of the object.
The barium atom has a much bigger radius.
No partial or complete atom has anywhere near 12,000 times the mass of a hydrogen atom. The mass of the hydrogen atom is 1 atomic mass unit (AMU), corresponding to the single proton in its nucleus. The largest, most massive atom that presently occurs naturally on Earth is that of Uranium. The heaviest form of Uranium has 238 protons and neutrons in its nucleus, for an atomic mass of around 238. All of these mass numbers correspond to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The electrons surrounding the nucleus are largely ignored, for a few reasons: -- Electrons come and go, get added to and separated from atoms, rather easily. -- 1 proton or 1 neutron have as much mass as about 1,840 electrons, so a few electrons more or less doesn't make much difference in the mass of an atom. -- The most complex atom ... Uranium again ... normally has only about 92 electrons, which amounts to only about 5 percent of one proton or neutron, so they don't have much impact on an atomic mass of 238 .
Inaccurate statement as a hydrogen IS the proton. An atom is made up of the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the electrons. A Protium or Hydrogen-1 contains 1 proton and no neutrons, it however has 1 electron which makes up very little of the mass so you could say that. 1 electron is 1/1834 the mass of a proton. So hydrogen is ~ 1+ 5.4875×10^-4 amu
