Which of the following statements about protons is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term proton refers to the hydrogen ion, H+. Since the atomic number of hydrogen is 1, a hydrogen ion has no electrons and corresponds to a bare nucleus, consisting of only one proton. Since it has no electrons, it carries a positive charge, hence the H+.
In chemistry, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is known as the atomic number, which determines the type of element the atom is.
The chemical properties of each atom are determined by the number of (negatively charged) electrons. In neutral atoms, the number of electrons is equal to the number of  protons (which are positive) so that the total charge is zero.
