No, it cannot. Protons carry a positive electrostatic charge, and like charges repel each other. There is no way for more than one proton to create an atomic nucleus without the help of the neutron. Note that all the nucleons, the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus, each have to give up a bit of their mass and have it converted to binding energy (or nuclear glue) to keep all the particles stuck together in that nucleus.

How many protons and newtrons does a hydrogen atom contain?

There is one proton, one electron in hydrogen. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of hydrogen. Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium, deuterium and tritium with 0, 1 and 2 neutrons respectively.


What is a direct consequence of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nuceuls?

Number of proton = atom numberfor example:Hydrogen has 1 proton and its atom number is also 1Number of neutrons + number of protons = mass numberfor example:Hydrogen have 1 proton and and NO neutrons, so the mass number is 1Helium has 2 protons and and 2 neutrons, so the mass number is 4


Where about in an atom would you find a proton?

You can find a proton in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
