A hydrogen nucleus has got just one electron, thereby meaning that it can either accept one more electron or give away its sole electron to attain the stable electronic configuration. However, it usually shows the non metallic behaviour of accepting an electron.

What kind of charge is on the nucleus'?

A nucleus is positively charged (Apart from hydrogen), because it has protons which are positively charged and neutrons which have no charge.


What is the charge of a nucleus?

The nucleus of an atom is always positively charged. The magnitude of the positive charge is proportional to the atomic number of the element. For instance, the charge on a nucleus of Hydrogen is +1 or +1.6 x 10-19 C as the atomic number of Hydrogen is 1. The charge on a nucleus of carbon (at. no. =6) is +6 or +6 x 1.6 x10-19 C

Which particle or particles make up the nucleus?

Every nucleus (except for Hydrogen) consists of protons and neutrons. The hydrogen nucleus is only a proton.


What is the charge of the atom in the nucleus?

The charge of an atom's nucleus is equal to the number of protons in that atom. (Always positive)The nucleus only contains protons and neutrons. The protons each have a positive charge of one. The neutrons are neutral and do not contribute to charge.Example: Hydrogen has one proton so the nucleus has a charge of +1, where carbon has 12 protons so the nuclear charge is +12.


Why does hydrogen only have 1 electron in the outer shell?

To balance the charge of the single proton in the nucleus.


What is the difference between a hydrogen atom and a hydrogen cation?

A hydrogen atom carries a neutral charge. (The number of protons and electrons are balanced.)A hydrogen cation is an ion so it carries a charge, and it's a positive charge because it's a cation. (There is one less electron, which makes the element a cation.)


The neutral hydrogen atom consists of?

A neutral hydrogen atom consists of a single proton in its nucleus and a single electron orbiting the nucleus. The proton carries a positive charge, while the electron carries a negative charge. The overall charge of the neutral hydrogen atom is zero due to the equal and opposite charges of the proton and electron.


Do neutrons and hydrogen atoms have the same charge?

No. A neutron is neutral, while a proton has a positive charge. Incidentally, an electron has a negative charge.


What attraction holds the electron in orbit around the nucleus of the hydrogen atom?

Magnetic. The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a proton, which has a positive charge. The electron has a negative charge Opposite charges attract so the negative electron is attracted to the positive nucleus.


What parts of the atom have a positive charge?

Parts of an atom: - protons - located in the nucleus - have a positive charge - neutrons - located in the nucleus - have a neutral or no charge - electrons - are in orbit around the nucleus - have a negative charge


Why is that water is describe as apolar solvent?

Due to the ability of the nucleus of oxygen atom to attract the electrons of the covalent bond to itself is higher than that of the nucleus of hydrogen atom, so oxygen atom carry partial negative charge and hydrogen carry partial positive charge
