"Hydrogen Is Positive" Hello; My physics teacher said that hydrogen was positive. But, I don't understand why this is true. I thought hydrogen, like any other element, was electrically neutral (because it has 1 proton and 1 electron). So why is it positive? Thanks.

Hello, probably a simple question but here it is. Considering the orbitals of a hydrogen atom, let's take a spherical one. Now the radial wave function can have several nodes. (n-l I believe) So if I get this right, there are spherical shells around the nucleus where there is no chance of...
