pro·ton (proґton) [Gr. prōton, from prōtos first] an elementary particle of positive charge which forms the nucleus of the ordinary hydrogen atom of mass 1; along with neutrons, protons form the nuclei of atoms of all other elements. The proton is the unit of positive electricity; it has one quantum of charge (1.6 Ч1019 coulomb), equivalent to the electron but of opposite polarity, and its mass is 1.67 Ч1027 kilogram, approximately that of the hydrogen ion.
