* One proton: This is a positively charged particle located in the atom's nucleus.
* One electron: This is a negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus.
The hydrogen atom does not have any neutrons in its nucleus.
Here's a breakdown:
* Proton: It carries a single positive charge (+1).
* Electron: It carries a single negative charge (-1).
Since the charges of the proton and electron are equal and opposite, the overall charge of a hydrogen atom is neutral.
