  • What’s the difference between a proton and a positively charged hydrogen ion?
    A proton is a subatomic particle with a positive charge, while a positively charged hydrogen ion (H+) is a hydrogen atom that has lost its electron, essentially becoming a proton.
  • Which of the following correctly pairs the particles of an atom with their physical properties? (a) Protons - negative charge (b) Neutrons - no charge (c) Electrons - positive charge
    Neutrons - no charge is the correct pairing.
