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.

How many protons neutrons and electrons does an element have?

An element must always have the same number of protons as it's atomic number. The number of electrons may vary, making an atom into an ion, and the number of neutrons can also vary which is why we have different isotopes of the same element.
