If the electron were the size of a Golf ball, the proton would be about the size of a Basketball and the electron would be orbiting about 8000 meters away (assuming the Bohr model of the atom).

Can you identify the orbital in which an electron is most likely to be found in a hydrogen atom?

The electron in a hydrogen atom is most likely to be found in the 1s orbital.


What elements have the following electron 1s1?

The element with the electron configuration 1s1 is hydrogen, which has 1 electron in its 1s orbital.


Number of electrons in the first orbital of the element hydrogen?

The first orbital of hydrogen, which is the 1s orbital, can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.


What are the Electron Configuration of hydrogen?

Hydrogen electron configuration will be 1s1.


What Is geological electron capture?

Electron capture occurs when an electron from the innermost orbital of an atom is captured by a nucleus, which leads to the conversion of a proton into a neutron.


Where is the single electron in an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen located?

The single electron in a neutral hydrogen atom resides in the 1s orbital.


The number of neutrons that hydrogen has?

Hydrogen has no neutrons. It has 1 proton in the nucleus and 1 orbital electron.


How do you draw a orbital diagram for hydrogen with the atomic mass of 3 and atomic number of 1?

Note that hydrogen by definition always has an atomic number of 1, so it is not necessary for you to specify that. And if the atomic mass is 3, that is the tritium isotope, with 2 neutrons. The added neutrons have no effect on the orbit of the single electron, so the orbital diagram is exactly the same as if it were the more common hydrogen 1 isotope. One electron orbits the nucleus.


What is the electron configuration of hydrogen?

For hydrogen atoms, it is 1s1. For hydrogen positive ions (protons), it is 1s0. For hydride ions, it is 1s2 or [He]-.


How much energy is needed to completely remove an electron from n2 in a hydrogen atom?

How much energy is required to move the electron of the hydrogen atom from the 1s to the 2s orbital


How does the ground state electron configuration of the hydrogen atom differ from that of a ground state helium atom?

The ground state electron configuration of hydrogen is 1s^1, meaning it has one electron in the 1s orbital. Helium in its ground state has an electron configuration of 1s^2, indicating it has two electrons in the 1s orbital. So, the main difference is that hydrogen has one electron in its outer shell while helium has two electrons in its outer shell.


For every electron added to an orbital how many neutrons are being added?

Adding an electron to an orbital does not necessarily mean adding a neutron. Neutrons are not directly related to the number of electrons in an atom. Neutrons are added to the nucleus of an atom independently of the electrons in the electron cloud.
