Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering that protons exist. In his famous gold foil experiment, Rutherford observed that alpha particles were deflected by the positive charge of the nucleus, leading to the conclusion that the nucleus contains positively charged particles which we now know as protons.

Where do the protons and the neutrons exist in the atom?
The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons.
In what form do protons generally exist in aqueous solutions?
Protons in aqueous solutions generally exist as hydrated protons, which means they are surrounded by water molecules. In solution, protons can transfer between water molecules, resulting in the special case where protons are solvated by water.
How many protons does neon-12 have?
Neon has 10 protons; the isotope Ne-12 doesn't exist.
Are Protons are only found in solids?
Haha, No, they're not. Protons are found in all molecules that exist (and even in some that don't!).
Do isotopes exist because atoms of the same element can have different numbers of protons?
Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons; the number of neutrons is different.
Can an atom with 50 protons and 2electrons exist?
No it can't. There has to an equal amount of electrons as protons! This atom can't exist.

What is the center of an atom where the neutrons and protons exist?
Nucleus
Why protons are not repelled in nucleus?
Between protons and neutrons exist the residual strong force (nuclear force).
How many protons does neon-12 have?
Neon has 10 protons; the isotope Ne-12 doesn't exist.
What are the 2 difference between protons and neutrons?
- protons are positive and neutrons are neutral- a small difference of mass exist
Can proton exist independently in nature?
Protons are typically found within the nucleus of an atom, where they are bound by the strong nuclear force to neutrons. Protons can exist independently in the form of free protons, but they are unstable and tend to quickly capture an electron to form a hydrogen atom.
Are protons only found in solids?
Haha, No, they're not. Protons are found in all molecules that exist (and even in some that don't!).

What is the elemental symbol for an atom with 13 protons 17 neutrons and 12 electons?
It does not exist If it did exist it would be 30Al+
Can you think why atoms always have the same amount of electron as protons?
When the number of protons is different another atom exist; the number of protons is specific for only one element.
