State

A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus, with a mass much greater than an electron's.

Show

Every hydrogen nucleus is a single proton, the "building block" Rutherford identified inside the nuclei of heavier elements as well.

Watch for

A proton's charge is fixed at one positive unit; only the number of protons present, never their individual charge, ever varies.
