<h3>Answer:</h3>

Make-up of Hydrogen

Hydrogen atoms are extremely simple. They are the first atom on the periodic table, this means that they only have 1 proton. The majority of hydrogen atoms don't even have a neutron. As for electrons, hydrogen atoms with no charge have 1 electron. All of this means that for almost all hydrogen atoms the nucleus is made of one singular proton.

Diagram

The diagram shows a hydrogen atom. It looks like one circle because it is just showing the singular proton found in the nucleus. Electrons are extremely small compared to protons, so the electron is not shown in the picture. It is very hard to accurately depict electrons on diagrams like this because of their size and the fact that we can never know where they are. So, the diagram may look too simple but it just depicts how most hydrogen nuclei look.

What problems do pathogens cause in our society?
kotegsom [21]

Pathogens are microorganisms that cause infectious diseases. Bacteria and viruses are the main pathogens in the world today.

The major problem that pathogen cause in society is that they are the agents of infection and disease. 

An infection results when a pathogen invades the body and begins growing within a host.  A disease results when tissue function is impaired due to an infection.

Due to diseases, affected people can not work  which negatively affects the economy, and the sick may end up dying causing a lot of grief, and robbing society of a father, a mother or child.

The government has to put money aside for health care which would otherwise have been used for other things to help the society.
