The number of PROTONs and the number of ELECTRONs are always equal in a neutral atom.
Therefore an element with one PROTON will have one ELECTRON and that element will be called Hydrogen.
One electron. This balances out hydrogen's one proton.
Electrons do not fit inside a proton or neutron. Electrons move around the nucleus where the protons and electrons are, and the mount of electrons depends on the atom. For a neutral atom the number of electrons = the number of protons. If that does not hold true the atom will receive a (+) or (-) charge. It will be a (+) if it is missing one electron and a (-) if it has an extra electron. To the guy who wrote that, the question was asking (in size) how many electrons could fit inside a proton relative to its size. The answer is about 1/1836 electrons could fit inside a proton.
The atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element. The proton count is the same as the electron count as all elements have a charge of zero giving them the same. Simplified: the atomic number shows you how many electrons and protons are in the element. If it is a compound and it has a charge of +1 that means the element has lost one electron and has a positive charge. If it gained a electron it would be -1 as electrons are negatively charged.
one valence electron
The element with one proton per atom is hydrogen.
Hydrogen is an element, and the smallest form of an element is an atom. If you meant electrons, then 1.
One of course as Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table and therefore has one proton and needs one electron to balance it.
The subatomic particle that defines the element is the proton. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines the element's atomic number, which differentiates one element from another on the periodic table.
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
Carbon has 6 protons, and it will have 6 electrons in a neutral atom, one for each proton. See link below.
Hydrogen [H] has one proton. Its atomic number is 1 which is the number of protons. Also, the number of protons will always equal the number of electrons unless the element has a charge.
The lightest element with only one proton is hydrogen.
One electron. This balances out hydrogen's one proton.
There is no atom or element that has one proton, one neutron and ten electrons. Duterium has one proton, one neutron and one electron (in a neutral atom). Tritium has one proton, two neutrons and one electron (in a neutral atom), but that is the closest. In any neutral atom the number of electrons will equal the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom. An atom with one proton in its nucleus and 10 electrons just isn't possible.
There is no specific number of electrons that a proton can attract. For example, in a neutral atom; a proton attracts nearly one electron and there is a higher attraction in anions and lesser number in cations.
electrons are a 2000th of the mass of a proton/neutron. Because of this very low mass, electrons dont affect the mass number of elements on the periodic table
Hydrogen, being the first element, has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus.
