collegeconfid said:For example, when solving physics problems, hydrogen is usually assumed to have a 1 proton and 1 electron per atom.
collegeconfid said:But, I remember from Chemistry that Hydrogen usually has a charge of 1+, so wouldn't it only have 1 proton and no electron?
The number of protons in hydrogen is 1.
2.Hydrogen has 1 proton.
3.The atomic number of hydrogen is 1, which is also equal to the number of protons in the element.
4.The number of protons in an element determines its atomic number, which in turn determines its placement on the periodic table and its chemical properties.
5.No, the mass number of an element is the combined number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. Hydrogen typically has 1 proton and 0 neutrons, giving it a mass number of 1.
