Hydrogen [H] has one proton. Its atomic number is 1 which is the number of protons. Also, the number of protons will always equal the number of electrons unless the element has a charge.

What element has one proton and zero neutrons?

Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.

It is the atom of deuterium. Its nucleus is composed of a proton and one neutron. The atom has one electron that is orbiting around the nucleus.


What is an example of an atom without a neutron?

The only element that does not have a neutron in its nucleus is hydrogen-1, which consists of one proton and one electron.


How does radioactive decay produce new elements?

In alpha decay, the nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons. The resulting element will therefore have an element number that is two less.In beta minus decay, a neutron gets converted to a proton. The resulting element will have one more proton - the element number will be one more. In beta plus decay, a proton gets converted to a neutron. The resulting element will have one less proton - the element number will be one less.


Which particle has a close mass to proton?

The neutron, which is slightly more massive. The neutron is composed up two down quarks and one up quark (charges of -1/3 and 2/3 [in terms of proton charge], respectively) and the proton is composed of one down quark and two up quarks.

An atom is an element so it cannot contain 2 of its own. But now if your asking the elements of the atom such as proton, neutron, and electron, the only atom would be H+ with one proton and one neutron.


Deuterium is an element with one proton and one neutron Deuterium is called a an?

Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that contains one proton and one neutron. It is commonly referred to as "heavy hydrogen" due to its higher atomic mass compared to regular hydrogen, which has no neutrons.


What is in hydrogen nucleus?

In a Hydrogen nucleus there is a proton. Hydrogen is the only element to not have a neutron in it's nucleus.


An atom of hydrogen is made up of?

All isotopes of hydrogen contain one proton. The single thing that makes each element unique is the number of protons in its nucleus. Only that. Neutron count can vary with different isotopes of an element, and electron count can vary as we see an atom loan or borrow electrons. Proton count always identifies an element, and nothing else. The word "isotope" means the same element, with the same properties, but with different numbers of neutrons. Most hydrogen atoms have one proton and no neutrons. Deuterium is the isotope that has one proton and one neutron, and tritium has one proton and two neutrons.Hydrogen with oxygen forms water; deuterium and oxygen forms "heavy water". Tritium is radioactive, and decays into helium-3.
