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.
no. elements are categorized by the number of protons. also if there are no protons. then it is no longer an atom
A stable atom of hydrogen (H)
A hydrogen atom has 1 proton in its nucleus. Since the helium-4 atom has twice as many protons as hydrogen, it has 2 protons. Helium-4 also has 2 neutrons, hence the name "4" representing the total number of protons and neutrons.
Protons are similar to hydrogen ions because they are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Hydrogen ions are just protons that are not associated with an electron.
The hydroxide ion is OH-. There is one proton in a hydrogen atom and eight in an oxygen atom. Therefore, there are 9 protons in a hydroxide ion.

in the nucleus
The number of protons varies for different elements. For example, Hydrogen has only one proton in each atom. That's what makes hydrogen hydrogen. If it had two protons, it would be helium. If there were no protons, then it wouldn't be anything.

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.
protons
A standard hydrogen atom has 1 proton. The Atomic Number of any element is the number of protons that element has.
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.

It depends on the atom (i.e Hydrogen), but normally it is protons and neutrons.
