Best Answer

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).

How many neutrons in h-3?

Hydrogen only has one proton. A Hydrogen-3 atom contains one proton and 2 nuetrons. This is because atoms of a certain element can vary in the amount of nuetrons. The're called isotopes.


How many atoms of hydrogen are need to create 1 atom of helium?

2, but its an isotope of hydrogen with a mass of 2 rather then 1.09


How many neutrons on the middle shell of hydrogen?

Their are only 2 shells in the hydrogen atom.


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.

Where does the sun gets energy from and goes to light and heat?

The sun uses nuclear fusion to produce light and energy. the process is relatively complicated but simplified it looks something like this. step 1: hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom = deutrerium atom (an isotope of hydrogen (one extra neutron)) + positron + neutrino step 2: Deutrerium atom + hydrogen atom = helium 3 (an isotope of Helium (missing one neutron)) + energy step 3: helium 3 atom + helium 3 atom = helium atom + hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom + energy.

How is an atom of hydrogen different from an atom of uranium?

1. Uranium has 92 electrons and protons; also variable number of neutrons, depending on the isotope. The atomic weight is approx. 238. 2. Hydrogen (the isotope 1H) has 1 electron and 1 proton. The atomic weight is approx. 1.
