The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

But materials that can efficiently conduct protons—the nucleus of the hydrogen atom—could be key to a number of important technologies for combating global climate change. Most proton ...

The difference, though, lies in the hydrogen atoms. In ordinary water, each hydrogen atom has just a single proton in its nucleus. In heavy water, each hydrogen atom is indeed heavier, with a ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton’s inner ...

You'll start with a hydrogen atom, which contains one proton and one electron. To build other atoms, just add protons, neutrons, and electrons. By the way, you'll need to create each proton and ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

Key fact Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. There are three isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium (hydrogen-2) and tritium ...

Protons are positively charged ... deuterium (hydrogen-2) and tritium (hydrogen-3): if the atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively-charged ion if the atom gains one or more ...

The nucleus of each atom contains protons and neutrons. While the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, etc.) and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, ...
