The element which has the smallest atomic number has the smallest number of protons. In this case, argon has a proton number of 18 (therefore it has 18 protons in each atom), but nitrogen has fewer protons - it has a proton number of just 7, meaning that it has seven protons per nitrogen atom.

What is the metalloid element with the fewest number of protons?

If you look at the periodic table, the atomic number denotes the number of protons in the element. For example, the first element on the table is hydrogen, and it has one proton (the fewest). Element number two is helium, and it has two protons, etc.

Does nitrogen have the fewest protons?

No. Nitrogen has an atomic number of 7, with a mass number of about 14, meaning it has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. Hydrogen has the least amount of protons, containing only one proton and one electron.


How many positive protons does nitrogen have?

Hope you are particular about the proton and not anit proton. The beauty is that the number of protons ie atomic number is the code for knowing the element. So 7 is the door number for nitrogen. Hence it has 7 protons. If one proton right from nitrogen nucleus is taken out then nucleus becomes that of carbon. If one proton is added then it becomes 8, so it is oxygen atom. Moreover nitrogen atom does exist as monoatomic molecule. It always exists as diatomic molecule. That is nitrogen gas.


What happens when a proton is added to a carbon?

It becomes nitrogen. This is a nuclear reaction. and not done in a School Lab. NB Different elements have a different number of PROTONS. So a change in the proton number means you have a different element.
