Yes. A hydrogen atom can lose its only electron in an ionic bond. The atom would have no electrons.
Actually the correct answer is No.
Every atom has an equal number of electrons and protons so that the negative and positive charges balance out. However, the answer isn't as simple as that because we know that ionic atoms and compounds are able to give up or take in an extra electron to form positive and negative ions. The most common ionic compound is water:
H2O which can disassociate into ions H+ and OH-
In theory the H+ ion is a hydrogen proton without an associated electron, however it has been established that H+ does not exist independently, rather it associates with another water molecule to form the ion H3O+
Therefore 2H2O -><- H3O+ + OH-
So no atom or molecule can exist without an associated electron, even if that electron has to be shared with a fellow molecule.

What is the atomic number number of nuetrons and the number of electrons of hydrogen?
Hydrogen atom: Atomic number: 1 Number of neutrons: 0 [for commonest isotope] Number of electrons: 1
Which type of particle has an atomic number of -1 and a mass number 0?
This question probably refers to a positron, although I am not sure that the description of it as having a negative atomic number is widely recognized.
Nitrogen has an atomic mass of 14 and an atomic number of 7 so the number of neutrons must be?
The atomic mass of an atom is the total mass of its particles. The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. To find the number of neutrons in an atom, we take its atomic mass (the total mass of its particles) and subtract its atomic number (the number of protons and electrons in the atom). A: Lithium has an atomic mass of 7 and an atomic number of 3 so the number of neutrons is equal to 4. (7 - 3 = 4)
Could an atom ever have a higher atomic number then a mass number?
No, atomic number (z) is always bigger or at least equal to mass number (m). (If there were NO neutrons (n=0): z=p=m-n=m-0=m , ie. Hydrogen with p=1, n=0, z=m)
Is there an element that has the same atomic number and atomic mass?
No, there is no naturally occurring element with the same atomic number and atomic mass. The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes, which have different numbers of neutrons. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its identity. Therefore, the atomic number and atomic mass are different for each element.
Which atom has atomic number zero and mass number zero?
No sense; atomic number zero and atomic weight zero doesn't exist ! Edit: !Answer = 0
What is the number of atomic mass in an atom?
Relative mass number of an electron is 0
What is the atomic number number of nuetrons and the number of electrons of hydrogen?
Hydrogen atom: Atomic number: 1 Number of neutrons: 0 [for commonest isotope] Number of electrons: 1
Oxidation number of silicon?
there are two for silicone.those are 0 and 4.Atomic silicon has oxidation number 0. It forms a wide variety of compounds, specially with oxygen. In these compounds, the oxidation number of silicon can vary from 0 to +4.

Why does no of neutrons in hydrogen is zero?
no of neutrons in protium is 0 but not in deutirium and tritium.as the no of neutrons is difference between atomic mass and atomic number.
What is the oxidation number for 5O2?
Atomic oxygen has oxidation number 0. Molecular oxygen also has 0 as oxidation number. It would be the same for five oxygen molecules as well.
What is the number of electrons and oxidation number of magnesium?
Singl atom has 12 electrons. Oxidation number of it is +2.
What is the number of protons in the neucleus called?
the answer is that it is called a atomic number.
