Protons and electrons both have mass. Therefore a hydrogen atom that contains one or both will have mass. (It will, however, be less massive than a hydrogen atom that also has neutrons.)

What type of particle has an atomic number of 1 and a mass number of 1?

Of the common sub-atomic particles, both the proton and the neutron have mass numbers of 1.


Is the mass of a hydrogen atom different from the mass of an oxygen atom?

all atoms have different masses Mass of an atom is due to protons and neutrons present in an atom and number of proton is something that distinguish between atoms, therefore mass of hydrogen is different to the mass number of oxygen, hydrogen's mass is 1 as it has only 1 proton and no neutrons, and oxygen mass's is 16 as it has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.


What are the protons in hydrogen atom?

The proton is an elementary particle with the mass 1.00727646677 atomic units of mass and the electrical charge +1. It is a hydrogen ion in which one electron is lost. But since hydrogen only has one electron and one proton, a hydrogen ion is just called a "proton", since only a proton is left.


Which has an atomic mass unit of 1?

A hydrogen atom of the most common isotope of hydrogen, or a proton or neutron.


Is hydrogen the smallest particle of an element?

An average hydrogen atom consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The 1 proton accounts for nearly all of that atom's mass. The 1 electron has only about 1/2000th the mass of the proton. That's about 0.0005 of the total atomic mass.


What is the mass of an electron when compare to the mass of hydrogen?

The mass of an electron is approximately 9.11 x 10^-31 kilograms. In comparison, a hydrogen atom, which consists of one proton and one electron, has a mass of about 1.67 x 10^-27 kilograms. This means that the mass of the electron is roughly 1/1836 of the mass of the hydrogen atom, making the electron's mass negligible in comparison to the proton's mass within the hydrogen atom.


A hydrogen atom that has mass number of 1?

This is called also protium and contain 1 proton and 1 electron.


Number of protons in a hydrogen?

The "NUMBER" (#) of Protons in an Atom of Hydrogen is one (1). The number of protons is what makes a specific element that element. Hydrogen always has one proton no matter what. If someone says that a hydrogen atom has two protons(they are incorrect), it is no longer hydrogen; it is the element Helium.


The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is formed by?

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


What element has 1 proton in each atom?

Hydrogen has one proton in its nucleus.


How do the isotopes hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 differ?

Hydrogen-1 has no neutrons while Hydrogen-2 has 1 neutronA hydrogen-1 atom (normal hydrogen) has 1 proton and 1 electron whereas a hydrogen-2 atom (deutrium) has 1 proton, 1 NEUTRON and 1 electron.


Which two particles make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom?

The two particles that make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom are the proton and neutron. The proton has a positive charge and is responsible for defining the element, while the neutron has no charge and helps stabilize the nucleus.
