No, it cannot. Protons carry a positive electrostatic charge, and like charges repel each other. There is no way for more than one proton to create an atomic nucleus without the help of the neutron. Note that all the nucleons, the protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus, each have to give up a bit of their mass and have it converted to binding energy (or nuclear glue) to keep all the particles stuck together in that nucleus.

∙ 13y agoWe don't find an atom with only two protons in its nucleus. Only the atom of hydrogen-1 has no neutrons. But there is something about a proton pair we might want to consider.
In stars, we find two protons fused in what is called a proton-proton chain reaction, but one proton immediately undergoes beta minus decay and becomes a neutron. We'll then see a hydrogen-2 nucleus (a proton and a neutron) in the place of the two protons. This isotope of hydrogen will undergo further fusion reactions in stellar nucleosynthesis.

What is a direct consequence of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nuceuls?
Number of proton = atom numberfor example:Hydrogen has 1 proton and its atom number is also 1Number of neutrons + number of protons = mass numberfor example:Hydrogen have 1 proton and and NO neutrons, so the mass number is 1Helium has 2 protons and and 2 neutrons, so the mass number is 4
What have one proton and no neutrons in its nucleus?
The only element that has one proton and no neutrons is a hydrogen atom.
How many neutrons protons and electrons are in each tritium?
Tritium (Hydrogen-3, H3, T) has 1 Proton, 2 Neutrons, and 1 Electron.
Where does the proton normally exist in an atom?
Proton normally exist in nucleus. Along with it are neutrons.
An atom of tritium an isotope of hydrogen has 1 proton 2 neutrons and 1 electron What is its mass in amu?
Three
How many neutrons on the middle shell of hydrogen?
Their are only 2 shells in the hydrogen atom.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are in hydrogen?
Hydrogen - 1 proton, 1 electron Deuterium - 1 proton, 1 neutron 1 electron Tritium - 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron

How hydrogen atom is different from all other elements?
The hydrogen atom has no neutrons in the nucleus. There is just a proton and an electron.
Where about in an atom would you find a proton?
You can find a proton in the nucleus of the atom along with neutrons.
Does a hydrogen atom have one proton and one electron?
Yes. One proton, one electron, no neutrons.
What have one proton and no neutrons in its nucleus?
The only element that has one proton and no neutrons is a hydrogen atom.
Where in an atom can you find a proton?
in the nucleus, in the centre, with the neutrons.
Because a hydrogen atom does not contain a neutron hydrogen ions can be thought of as what?
a Proton. A hydrogen-1 atom (the most abundant isotope of hydrogen) has no neutrons and only 1 proton. So the atom is 1 proton and 1 electron. So the ion, when the electron is removed, the entire ion is just 1 single proton.
How many neutrons protons and electrons are in each tritium?
Tritium (Hydrogen-3, H3, T) has 1 Proton, 2 Neutrons, and 1 Electron.
Where are proton neutrons electrons loacted on the atom?
the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom the electrons are located in the outer orbits
Are there neutrons in a hydrogen atom?
No, a Hydrogen atom does not contain any neutrons. It only has one proton and one electron.
