If the electron in a hydrogen atom were the size and weight of a golf ball what would be the size and weight of the proton and neutron and what would be the orbital diameters of the electron and neutr?

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).

Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
What is hydrogen ions and will take as many as possible?
When hydrogen loses one electron from its 1s atomic orbital, then it forms hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ion only take that atom which has only -1 valency .
What information does the third quantum number of electron give?
The specific orbital the electron is in
What is the three dimensional region around a nucleus where an electron may be found?
The three dimensional region around the nucleus of an atom that indicates the probability of the location of an electron is called an orbital. Different orbitals exist in atoms depending on the number of electrons the atom possesses. The element hydrogen only has one orbital, whereas heavier elements such as radon have many.
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
Number of electrons in the first orbital of the element hydrogen?
1st orbital has 1 electron only
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?
To draw the orbital diagram for hydrogen with an atomic mass of 3 and atomic number of 1, you start by writing the electron configuration as 1s1. Since hydrogen has only one electron, it occupies the 1s orbital. The orbital diagram would show a single electron in the 1s orbital, depicted as ↑.
What is the atomic structure of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an element. Its atomic number is one. It has one proton in the nucleus, and one electron in the first orbital. It has no neutrons.
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
Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms form?
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons. Let's take hydrogen for example. To be the most "happy" atoms want their outermost orbital full of electrons. Hydrogen has only one electron in its 1s orbital, but the 1s orbital can hold two electrons. Hydrogen wants two electrons to be "happy" so it will do what it takes to get them. If a hydrogen atom bumps into another hydrogen atom they can both become "happy" as each atom will share its electron with the other atom, giving each a full outermost orbital with the help of the other atom's electron. This is what creates the bond in covalent bond as the hydrogen atoms are "happier" together with a full orbital than they would be with a half-full orbital apart.
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
What type of bond holds two hydrogen atoms together in hydrogen gas?
The bond holding the diatomic molecule of hydrogen (which exists in hydrogen gas) is a single covalent bond. This is the sharing of one electron in their 1s orbital, forming an stable electron that of helium: 1s2
What is hydrogen ions and will take as many as possible?
