Individual hydrogen atoms are stable in so far as they do not decay, they are however very reactive chemically and they can easily become stabilized by bonding two hydrogen atoms each other to form a hydrogen molecule. Meanwhile, hydrogen reacts with many other elements including metals, metalloids and non metals.

What kind of atom has1 protons in its nucleus?
A stable atom of hydrogen (H)
Is an atom with an atomic number of 1 stable?
The atom with an atomic number of 1 is Hydrogen. Hydrogen only has one electron and is very unstable because it is very close to the nucleus and has an incomplete valence shell holla back
What is a partially filled outer electron level makes with?
A completley filled out electron level makes the atom stable
How do hydrogen atoms make a stable configuration?
Hydrogen is a diatomic element needing another one of its kind to be stable so another hydrogen atom would bond with it making H2, but there could be other elements that need just one electron to be happy can also bond with Hydrogen (like Fluorine, which makes Hydofluoric Acid).
Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion?
Hydrogen atom is neutral.
What kind of atom has1 protons in its nucleus?
A stable atom of hydrogen (H)
An oxygen atom needs how many hydrogen atoms to make itself stable?
Two.
How does hydrogen atom be stable without neutrons?
In simple terms, an atom with an unstable nucleus will decompose because the protons and neutrons breaking away from one another. In a hydrogen nucleus, which consists only of a single hydrogen atom, there is nothing for it to break away from.
Is it possible for an atom to have no neutrons?
A hydrogen atom is only a proton and an electron. Beyond that the neutron seems to keep the nucleus together and stable. Maybe a better question is, "What is the difference between a hydrogen atom without an electron and a proton?"
Which atom does not need 8 electrons in it outer energy level to be stable?
hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium
What atom has 2 neutrons?
There are two atoms with two neutrons. One is hydrogen-3 which is radioactive. The other is helium-4 which is a stable and inert atom.
Why are 2 hydrogen needed for every oxygen atom in the formation of water?
There is a concept in chemistry called valence, which is the number of bonds an atom can form to make a stable compound or molecule. Oxygen has a valence of 2, meaning it needs 2 bonds to form stable molecules. Hydrogen has a valence of 1. So, to satisfy the valences of both elements, two hydrogen atoms bond to one oxygen atom.
Why are stars stable as young star?
They have enough energy produced to fuse four hydrogen atoms into a helium atom.
Is an atom with an atomic number of 1 stable?
The atom with an atomic number of 1 is Hydrogen. Hydrogen only has one electron and is very unstable because it is very close to the nucleus and has an incomplete valence shell holla back
How many electrons are needed in the outer energy levels for the atom to be stable?
Stability isn't determined by the first energy level. The only atom with less than two is hydrogen. It is a very stable atom...reactive in that it will attach to anything, but it will always be hydrogen. The atoms that readily decay (the radioactive ones) all have full first orbitals.
Is chlorine atom stable?
Yes, Chlorine atom is stable
Which is the smallest atom?
The smallest atom is hydrogen.
