There is no ELEMENT which contains no neutrons HOWEVER there is an isotope of hydrogen called protium which is a single proton surrounded by a single electron.

The hydrogen-1 isotope (also known as protium) has only one proton in its nucleus.

An element is made up of only one kind of what?
Each element is made up of one kind of atom. Every element is made up of electrons (negative), protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). Only protons and neutrons have mass. Electrons orbit the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons.
What is the only particle that can change in number for an isotope?
The Neutron- An element with the same number of protons and electrons, but with a different number of neutrons per atom than the original element is called an "isotope". An isotope will have, for all intensive purposes, about the same chemical and physical properties as the original element. Isotopes are written as the element, followed by a dash, then the number of neutrons in one atom of that isotope (Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon with 13 neutrons per atom)
Where can you find neutrons in an atom?
Nuetrons are found in the center of an atom which is called the nucleus.
Do All carbon atoms have exactly 6 protons?
The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom defines the element. An atom which as 6 protons will be Carbon. The atomic weight of an element depends upon not only the proton but also the neutrons in the nucleus. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. There are three isotopes of carbon: carbon 12 (with 6 neutrons) and carbon 13 (with 7 neutrons) are stable, and carbon 14 (with 8 neutrons) is slightly radioactive and decays by emitting neutrons to carbon 12.
What is the orbital to protons?
Protons are not located in orbitals. Only electrons are present in the orbitals. Protons and Neutrons are located inside the nucleus of an atom.
Only element with Adams which do not have Neutrons?
Are of protons in and Atom
Which element does not have any neutron in this atom?
Hydrogen is the only element without any neutrons.
What have one proton and no neutrons in its nucleus?
The only element that has one proton and no neutrons is a hydrogen atom.
Are neutrons found only in the nuecleus of an atom?
Yes. They are found only inside the nucleus of an atom.
Number of neutrons in an atom?
It depends on the atom - Hydrogen is the only element with no neutrons, Helium has 2 Lithium 3 and so on up the periodic table.
An element is made up of only one kind of what?
Each element is made up of one kind of atom. Every element is made up of electrons (negative), protons (positive) and neutrons (neutral). Only protons and neutrons have mass. Electrons orbit the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons.
Why can an isotope be a neutral atom?
Isotopes are exactly the same as their most commonly found element, the only difference being the number of neutrons. Since neutrons have no charge, adding or subtracting them only changes the mass of the atom, not the charge.
What is inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Because the nucleus is only made up of protons and neutrons, it is positively charged. Physicists believe that there is a cluster of Protons and Neutrons within an Atom's nucleus. Friend Premier is quite right. So instead saying inside the nucleus it would be apt to say that nucleus is made up of...
Is the atomic number of an atom equal to the number of neutrons?
Only be coincidence; the atomic number is defined as the number of protons in a nucleus of each atom of the element.
What subatomic particles could be changed without changing which element the atom?
You are probably referring to neutrons which are often found within the nucleus of an atom in numbers different from the protons. An atom of the element carbon, for instance, normally consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 12 neutrons. However, an isotope of carbon known as C13 consists of 12 protons, 12 electrons and 13 neutrons.

Isotopes are written as the element, followed by a dash, then the number of neutrons in one atom of that isotope (Carbon-13 is an isotope of carbon with 13 neutrons per atom)
What is made out of elements?
An element is a substance that is made out of only one type of atom. So, an element when talking about a substance is made of atoms that are all the same. When talking about an element as an atom of that element (e.g. an aluminium atom) it is composed of a certain amount of protons, neutrons and electrons. Note: One element (Hydrogen) has no neutrons in it's atom.
