Yes, 1 proton and 1 electron in all H elemental atoms.

No neutrons in the H isotope atom, one for D isotope (deuterium) .

How is a hydrogen atom is different than a proton?

A hydrogen atom, H, is a proton (as nucleus) with one electron orbitting around it. A proton is just (the same as above) one proton, which lacks the electron: H+ .


How many electrons are in a positively charged hydrogen atom?

None. A hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron (no neutron). Removing the electron leads to just a proton, no electrons.


What is the simplest atom that contains one proton one electron and no neutrons?

Hydrogen


What is the common makeup of a hydrogen atom?

one electron and one proton


Neutral hydrogen atom consists of?

one proton and one electron


The hydrogen atom has one what and one what?

A single proton and a single electron.


Are there neutrons in a hydrogen atom?

No, a Hydrogen atom does not contain any neutrons. It only has one proton and one electron.


What is just one type of atom?

A hydrogen atom. One proton, and one surrounding electron.


You have 1 electron 1 proton and 1 neutron. What are you?

You are an atom of heavy hydrogen, or deuterium. Most hydrogen has one proton and one electron, which form a neutral atom. But once in a while, a neutron will stick to the proton, and then the atom, which is still hydrogen (it has just the one proton) will be about twice as massive as "regular" or "common" hydrogen. It is another isotope of hydrogen called heavy hydrogen or deuterium.


How many negatives positives and neutrals do a hydrogen atom have?

A hydrogen atom has one proton, one electron, and zero neutrons.


How many protons does the hydrogen element has?

Hydrogen always has 1 proton. If it had two, it would then become Helium. The fact that it is a Hydrogen ion, just means that it is not electrically neutral. Since the proton is what defines the atom, the Hydrogen atom must be missing an electron, leaving the atom with a net positive charge of +e.


Why is the H ion referred to as a proton?

Most hydrogen ions are simply protons. They have no neutron associated with them, and because they are ions, there is no electron. If the hydrogen is known to have no neutron, it is called protium. For practical proposes, there is no distinction between a protium ion and a proton that is not part of a nucleus. Some hydrogen ions are not simply protons, however, and have an associated neutron. In this form, the hydrogen is referred to as deuterium. When hydrogen has two neutrons, it is called tritium, and is radioactive.
