The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

For example, a helium atom has an atomic mass of ... He called it a neutron, and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any of these ideas. Chadwick kept the ...

A helium atom that has lost or gained an electron is an ion. The ion has two positive protons but one electron so it is a positive ion. Helium ion, two neutrons, two protons and three electrons.
