What is the number of neutron in one atom of hydrogen?

Hydrogen does not have any neutrons unless it is the isotope deuterium ( 1 neutron) or tritium (2 neutrons)


If a hydrogen atom has 2 neutrons is it an isotope?

No <-- Ignore this bullsh*t. The normal hydrogen has no neutrons, the alternative forms of hydrogen are those with 1 or 2 neutrons and are called isotopes. For example, nuclear power plants use "heavy water" in cooling. Water is H2O, 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. However, "heavy water" contains an isotope of hydrogen with 1 extra neutron in each hydrogen atom.


What is a hydrogen nuclei?

Most commonly, a hydrogen nuclei is simply a proton. If you are dealing with a hydrogen isotope (H2 or H3) then it is a proton and 1 or 2 neutrons. Most commonly, a hydrogen nuclei is simply a proton. If you are dealing with a hydrogen isotope (H2 or H3) then it is a proton and 1 or 2 neutrons.


What makes an isotope different from an atom that has the same number of protons?

Elements are substances such as Hydrogen. It has 1 Proton, and 0-2 neutrons. Since the number of neutrons can vary, we call each form of Hydrogen an isotope. A hydrogen with no neutrons and a hydrogen with 1 nuetron are both still Hydrogens. We simply call one the Hydrogen-1 Isotope. An isotope is just a variation of an element as the element can have different numbers of neutrons. All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, else itd be an isotope of another element.


How many protons and newtrons does a hydrogen atom contain?

There is one proton, one electron in hydrogen. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of hydrogen. Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium, deuterium and tritium with 0, 1 and 2 neutrons respectively.


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.


What is unusual about hydrogen's atomic structure?
