An atom of tritium an isotope of hydrogen has 1 proton 2 neutrons and 1 electron What is its mass in amu?
Three
What is a hydrogen isotope?
isotopes are atoms of an element with different #'s of neutrons (these are electrically neutral particles which change the weight of the atom); hydrogen has three isotopes; all three atoms have 1 proton and 1 electron but vary from no neutrons(the most common type of atom or isotope) to atoms with 1 neutron and 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.
What is the first atom that doesn't have any neutrons?
1H has just one proton and one electron - it has no neutrons.
What is hydrogens isotope?
isotopes are atoms of an element with different #'s of neutrons (these are electrically neutral particles which change the weight of the atom); hydrogen has three isotopes; all three atoms have 1 proton and 1 electron but vary from no neutrons(the most common type of atom or isotope) to atoms with 1 neutron and 2 neutrons.
How many neutrons on the middle shell of hydrogen?
Their are only 2 shells in the hydrogen atom.
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.
If a hydrogen has 2 neutrons is it an isotope?
The number of neutrons in hydrogen depends on the isotope. Protium,deuteriumand tritium have 0, 1 and 2 neutrons respectively.
What element has 1 protons 1 neutrons and 2 electrons?
It is hydrogen element. It is tritium isotope of hydrogen.
How many neutrons are on an atom?
The number of neutrons varies with element and isotope. Hydrogen found in nature has 0, 1, or 2 neutrons. Uranium can have from 141 to 146.

If a hydrogen atom has 2 nuetrons is it an isotope?
Yes. There are three isotopes in the Hydrogen family; Hydrogen (no neutrons); Deuterium (one neutron) & Tritium (two neutrons). Tritium is radioactive. It emits beta radiation (electron).

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.

What element has 2 neutrons and 1protons?
It is an isotope of Hydrogen.
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.
