The nucleus of the H atom is neutral when it has two electrons and one proton (when forming a covalent bond) or it has one electron and one proton.
Could you tell me why, please?Borek said:Nucleus itself is never neutral.
Protons and neutronsBorek said:What is the nucleus? What particles its it composed of?
HCverma said:Protons and neutrons
The charges of protons are positives and the neutrons have no charges. Yes, If neutrons would have had the same number of negative charges as protons have in the nucleus.Borek said:What are charges of these particles? Any chance their combination can be neutral?
Now coming to the main point, the H atom is neutral when it has two electrons and one proton (when forming a covalent bond) or it has one electron and one proton?Nik_2213 said:I'm sorry, you contradict yourself. Neutrons are neutral. They have no overall charge. If they did, they would not be neutrons.
Context or situation is missing. Is the concern, how the Hydrogen atom is combined in a molecule? Is the concern, instead, just Hydrogen atom by itself, or Hydrogen, the diatomic molecule by itself?HCverma said:Now coming to the main point, the H atom is neutral when it has two electrons and one proton (when forming a covalent bond) or it has one electron and one proton?
Can I make a new thread about the topic above? need suggestions.HCverma said:Now coming to the main point, the H atom is neutral when it has two electrons and one proton (when forming a covalent bond) or it has one electron and one proton?
Maybe just give the clarification asked of you.HCverma said:Can I make a new thread about the topic above? need suggestions.
sir from your point of view hydrogen atom is neutral but here question is about nucleus. Nucleus have protons and nucleus. Protons have positive charge whereas neutrons are neutral, so net charge is positive. That is why, nucleus of an atom can never be neutral.HCverma said:Now coming to the main point, the H atom is neutral when it has two electrons and one proton (when forming a covalent bond) or it has one electron and one proton?
Hydrogen atom is One proton and one electron.symbolipoint said:Maybe just give the clarification asked of you.
Hydrogen atom is what?
One proton and one electron.
Hydrogen atom, if exist that way, neutral.
Diatomic Hydrogen molecule is what?
Two protons and two electrons.
The diatomic molecule is neutral.
Something else? Describe the condition or situation and maybe one of the more expert members will discuss.
The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is made up of a single positively charged proton.
The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is considered neutral because it has an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons, resulting in a net charge of zero.
The neutral nucleus of a hydrogen atom can interact with other particles through the electromagnetic force, which is responsible for the attraction between positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons.
The size of the neutral nucleus of a hydrogen atom is incredibly small, with a diameter of approximately 1 femtometer (10^-15 meters).
No, the neutral nucleus of a hydrogen atom cannot change its charge because it is made up of a fixed number of protons, which determine its charge. However, it can change its mass through processes such as fusion or fission.
