A hydrogen atom which has lost an electron contains what?
After it has lost an electron, a hydrogen ion contains one proton and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope (usually none).
How many neutrons and protons make up a charged atom?
Neutrons are 'zero' charged. Protons are positively(+) charged. Electrons are negatively(-) charged. For any neutrally charged atom , the number of protons(+) equals the number of electrons(-); the charges balance. However, when an atom loses or gains electrons it becomes a charged species and is called an ION , not an atom. If the number of protons changes then it is a completely different element. Neutrons have no effect on the charge of an atom/ion, they only effect the atomic mass. Here are some examples. Hydrogen has one proton and one electrons ; charges balance. However the hydrogen ion has one proton and no electrons (H^+) Chlorine has two isotopes l different number of neutrons Chlorine - 35 , 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-35) ion has 17 protons , 18 neutrons and 18 electrons (35)Cl^-) , the chloride -35 ion Chlorine - 37, 17 protons , 20 neutrons and 17 electrons The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons , 20 neutrons, and 18 electrons (37)Cl^-) , the chloride - 37 ion. The Chloride(-37) ion has 17 protons, 20 neutrons and 18 electrons Notice , for the given element the number of protons remains the same, the different isotopes have different number of neutrons, and the ions have a different number of electrons.
What element has one proton and zero neutrons?
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
What element has 1 protons 1 neutrons and 2 electrons?
It is hydrogen element. It is tritium isotope of hydrogen.
The ion that is a single proton?
H-1. Hydrogen has only one proton and electron; if this electron is removed a hydrogen ion is formed - effectively a proton.
How many protons electrons and neutrons are present in a hydrogen ion?
Hydrogen is a funny critter. It always has one proton, and it usually has no neutrons. But rarely it can have one neutron, and even more rarely, it can have two neutrons. There is more. Hydrogen can appear either as just the proton having loaned out its electron to become a positive ion (H+), or it can at times borrow an electron and become a negative ion (H-). That means the ion might have two electrons, but usually it has no electrons.
A hydrogen atom which has lost an electron contains?
After it has lost an electron, a hydrogen ion contains one proton and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope (usually none).
A hydrogen atom which has lost an electron contains what?
After it has lost an electron, a hydrogen ion contains one proton and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope (usually none).
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom hydrogen?
With no electrons, as a bare nucleus, it exists as the H+ ion. Hydrogen can have any number of neutrons and still be hydrogen. H-1 (0 neutrons) is the most abundant isotope in nature. H-2(1 neutron) has the special name of deuterium and is stable and found in nature.
What is the atomic number number of neutrons and the number of electrons of hydrogen?
Normal Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, no neutrons and 1 electron.
What is hydrogen's number of neutrons equals mass number - atomic number equals?
A hydrogen atom has one proton, one electron and '''zero''' neutrons. Rephrased, the question is: Hydrogen's number of neutrons equals mass number - atomic number.
The number of neutrons that hydrogen has?
Hydrogen has no neutrons. It has 1 proton in the nucleus and 1 orbital electron.
Are the number of protons always equal to the number of neutrons?
No, in fact, they rarely are equal. There are different forms of the same type of atom. For example, there are three isotopes of Hydrogen, an element that has one proton. Hydrogen-1 has no neutrons. Hydrogen-2 has one neutron. Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.
How can you tell if an atom is an ion?
If the number of protons and neutrons are the same, its an atom, if not its an ion
What does not change when an ion forms?
The number of protons and neutrons does not change when an ion forms.
Is an atom of an element with a different number of neutrons called ion or isotope?
ion
