Assuming the initial speed of the neutron was the same (and assuming they really bounce, which I am not quite sure): less. When bouncing off a hydrogen nucleus, more momentum will be transferred to the hydrogen, because of its lower mass. Most of the momentum will be transferred, in fact, since the masses are more or less equal.

Does a hydrogen atom have a neutron in its nucleus?

No, a hydrogen atom does not have a neutron in its nucleus. A hydrogen atom consists of only one proton in its nucleus.


What is the only atom that does not have a neutron in the nucleus?

Hydrogen.


What is in hydrogen nucleus?

In a Hydrogen nucleus there is a proton. Hydrogen is the only element to not have a neutron in it's nucleus.


The difference between a sample of heavy water and regular water is that a hydrogen atom in heavy water has an extra?

The difference is that a hydrogen atom in heavy water, or deuterium oxide, contains an extra neutron in its nucleus compared to a hydrogen atom in regular water. This extra neutron increases the atomic mass of the heavy water molecule compared to regular water.


who particle has greatest mass electron proton neutron or hydrogen nucleus?

hydrgen nucleus


The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is formed by?

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is formed by a single proton.


Which particle is not found in hydrogen?

Hydrogen usually has no neutrons. However, there is also the heavy hydrogen, a.k.a. deuterium, that has both a proton and a neutron in its nucleus.


What is found in the nucleus of all elements except for hydrogen?

A neutron, although this is not always the case as there are hydrogen atoms with neutrons, but hydrogen atoms are the only one which are able to not have a neutron.


What does a proton and a neutron make?

A proton and a neutron combine to form a deuteron. A deuteron is the nucleus of a deuterium atom, which is an isotope of hydrogen.


Which atom do not contain neutron?

Hydrogen-1, (there is a trace of hydrogen-2 (deuterium) found in nature, and hydrogen-3 is an artificial isotope)


How do the isotopes hydrogen 1 and hydrogen 2 differ?

The basic difference is a neutron. Most hydrogen has a single proton for a nucleus. Hydrogen-2 has a neutron stuck to the proton, and hydrogen-3 has two neutrons stuck to the proton. Hydrogen-3 is a rare and highly unstable form of the first element.


Does the nucleus of the hydrogen atom consist of a single neutron?

1 Proton only
