A "normal" Hydrogen atom has 1 electron, 1 proton, and 1 neutron. Because atoms can lose electrons, it would be possible to encounter, say, a helium atom with one electron; however, atoms are more stable with two electrons than one, so it is unlikely that a helium atom would easily lose an electron.
