There are three naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen. The most common isotope, hydrogen-1, has no neutrons. It accounts for 99.99% of all hydrogen. Hydrogen-2 has a single neutron and accounts for most of the remaining .01%. Hydrogen-3 with two neutrons only exists in trace amounts.

How does isotopes hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 differ?
Isotopes have different number of neutrons, in the given isotopes, there are 0 and 1 neutrons respectively.
Isotopes of hydrogen differ in what?
Isotopes (of hydrogen) differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms.
How are isotopes of hydrogen same?
All hydrogen isotopes have a proton and an electron; the number of neutrons is different.
How are the three isotopes of hydrogen alike?
The three isotopes of hydrogen are called: hydrogen (1H or H, no neutrons), deuterium (2H or D, one neutron), and tritium (3H or T, two neutrons).They each have their own special name to make it easier to refer to them. They are fairly commonly used in chemistry and physics (especially deuterium).
Does the atomic number change in the three isotopes of hydrogen?
No the atomic number is same for the three isotopes of hydrogen (it is 1). The three isotopes of hydrogen differ by the number of neutrons.
How many isotopes of hydrogen are know?
There are three known naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen; hydrogen-1 with one proton and no neutrons, hydrogen-2 with one proton and one neutron, and hydrogen-3 with one proton and two neutrons.
Which element have no neutrons in its atom?
The most common isotope of Hydrogen lacks a neutron in its nucleus. But there is an isotope, called deuterium, that has one neutron. Additionally, there is a hydrogen isotope that is artificially created that has two neutrons in its nucleus. It is called tritium. A link to the Wikipedia article on the isotopes of hydrogen is provided.
How do isotopes H-3 and H-2 differ?
Hydrogen-1 isotopes have one proton and no neutrons. Hydrogen-2 isotopes have one proton and one neutron.
What chemical has 0 neutrons?
Hydrogen normally doesn't but its isotopes deuterium and tritium do. hydrogen
Each of the three known isotopes of hydrogen has what protons in the nucleus?
By definition Hydrogen has only one proton.
how is the structure of hydrogen 1 , hydrogen 2 and hydrogen 3 differ from each other?
The isotopes are different because of the different number of neutrons present in them. The isotopes are protium (1H) with zero neutrons, deuterium (2H) with one neutron, and tritium (3H) with two neutrons.
What is the major difference between isotopes?
Different numbers of neutrons, e.g. deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.
