A hydrogen atom, H, is a proton (as nucleus) with one electron orbitting around it.

A proton is just (the same as above) one proton, which lacks the electron: H+ .

How can there be 1 proton with a hydrogen atom with a mass?

Though a hydrogen atom typically has one proton, its mass is not solely determined by the proton. The mass of a hydrogen atom comes from the combination of the proton and an electron. The electron contributes a much smaller amount to the overall mass compared to the proton.


Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?

It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.


What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?

There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).


How many protons are in Hydrogen-1?

One. Charge doesn't change the number of protons because charge results for a loss or gain of electrons. If it had more than one proton, it would be some kind of Helium instead of being a hygroden.


What is the proportion of volume of proton to the volume of hydrogen atom?

The diameter of proton is 1*10 raised to the minus power of 15 meter. The diameter of hydrogen atom is 1* 10 raised to the power of minus 10 meter. The formula for volume of spere is 4/3*22/7*r raised to 3. From this you get that volume of the hydrogen atom is approximately 4,000,000,000,000,000 times more than that of proton. That means most of the atom is empty space.

How much bigger is a hydrogen atom than a proton?

A hydrogen atom is about 100,000 times larger in diameter compared to just a proton. This is because a hydrogen atom consists of a proton at its center with an electron cloud surrounding it, extending the size of the atom.


What is the ratio of the diameter of a hydrogen atom to the diameter of a proton?

The diameter of a hydrogen atom is roughly 100,000 times larger than the diameter of a proton.

What element has 1 more proton than hydrogen?

The atomic number is equivalent to its number of protons. One proton in atom is its atomic number is 1. Hydrogen is the only atom with one proton.


How many electrons are in a positively charged hydrogen atom?

None. A hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron (no neutron). Removing the electron leads to just a proton, no electrons.

It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.


Can hydrogen atoms have more than one proton?

No. Elements are given their names (like "Hydrogen" or "Gold") solely on their number of protons. If a Hydrogen atom had any other number of protons than one, it would not be a Hydrogen atom.


An atom with 1 proton and 1 neutron?

Yes and no, Hydrogen (naturally 1 proton, 1 electron, 0 neutrons), has an isotope (variation, with a different number neutrons), called Deuterium with 1 proton and one neutron. Deuterium composes less than 0.02% of the worlds Hydrogen.


What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?

There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).

How does the measured mass of hydrogen compare with its nuclear mass due to one proton?

The mass of the whole hydrogen atom includes the mass of an electron as well as the proton. The proton mass is nearly 2000 (actually about 1836) times greater than the electron mass. So, the mass of the hydrogen atom isn't much different from the mass of the proton. It's also possible this question could be about isotopes. Hydrogen has rare isotopes with one or two neutrons in the nucleus. So, the average mass of hydrogen, as measured, is usually a bit more than you would expect from just a proton and electron. However, these other isotopes are very rare and the effect on the mass of a sample of hydrogen would be very small.
