Ah, what a delightful question! That form of hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron in its nucleus is called deuterium. It's like a special friend in the hydrogen family, adding a little extra something special to the mix. Just like every element, it has its own unique charm that makes our world a more colorful and interesting place.

What does a proton and a neutron make?
A proton and a neutron combine to form a deuteron. A deuteron is the nucleus of a deuterium atom, which is an isotope of hydrogen.
How do you know that a deuterium is a form of hydrogen not a form of helium?
Deuterium has 1 proton, and therefore an isotope of Hydrogen. Remember the number of protons is what changes the atomic number, and what element a atom is. When tritium and deuterium react under immense pressure and heat they form Helium (and omits a neutron) This is the most basic example of nuclear fusion.
When a neutron decays what does it form?
Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 885.7±0.8 s (about 15 minutes), decaying by emission of a negative electron and antineutrino to become a proton: : n0 → p+ + e− + νe
Where is the nucleus of an atom?
The number of nucleons in an atom can vary. A nucleon is either of the two components that make up an atomic nucleus. That's either a proton or a neutron. Different atoms have different numbers of nucleons, and even different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of nucleons (because of isotopic variation). Let's look an a couple of examples to make our point.In hydrogen-1, which is the simplest and most common form of hydrogen, there is one proton in the nucleus of the atom. It has 1 nucleon. In hydrogen-2, there are a proton and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 2 nucleons. In hydrogen-3, there are a proton and two neutrons in that nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. In helium-3, there are two protons and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. You can see what's happening if you think it through.
What is the net loss of hydrogen of each full cycle of the proton proton chain?
Four.
What does a proton and a neutron make?
A proton and a neutron combine to form a deuteron. A deuteron is the nucleus of a deuterium atom, which is an isotope of hydrogen.
How do the isotopes hydrogen 1 and hydrogen 2 differ?
The basic difference is a neutron. Most hydrogen has a single proton for a nucleus. Hydrogen-2 has a neutron stuck to the proton, and hydrogen-3 has two neutrons stuck to the proton. Hydrogen-3 is a rare and highly unstable form of the first element.
How do you know Deuterium is made up of hydrogen?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, as opposed to the usual hydrogen isotope which only has one proton and no neutrons. This difference in atomic structure is what distinguishes deuterium as a form of hydrogen.
What does hydrogen 2 and oxygen 2 mean?
Hydrogen-2 refers to deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. Oxygen-2 is not a commonly recognized form of oxygen. The most common form is oxygen-16, which has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nucleus.
What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
How do you know that a deuterium is a form of hydrogen not a form of helium?
Deuterium has 1 proton, and therefore an isotope of Hydrogen. Remember the number of protons is what changes the atomic number, and what element a atom is. When tritium and deuterium react under immense pressure and heat they form Helium (and omits a neutron) This is the most basic example of nuclear fusion.
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.
Who many protons and neutrons in the element of hydrogen?
The most common form of Hydrogen, forming more than 99.9% of all hydrogen atoms in the universe, (sometimes known as Hydrogen-1) has one proton in the nucleus and one electron ( with no neutrons ). There are, however, other forms (isotopes) of hydrogen that can be stable, such as Hydrogen-2 ( also known as deuterium ), which has one neutron and one proton in the nucleus as well as one electron.
What is a proton or neutron as a component of the centre of an atom?
They are collectively known as nucleons, and together, all of them form the nucleus of an atom.
What can be considered to be the combination of a proton and an electron?
The pair form a hydrogen atom.There is a fallacy that's taught about this pairing, which is that the electron-proton pair form a neutron. See my answer to the question "What particle has the same mass as a hydrogen atom?" for more details about this, and why it is wrong.
Why is the H ion referred to as a proton?
A hydrogen atom consists of a lone proton and its paried electron. If the hydrogen atom loses the electron and becomes a positively charged ion, the hydrogen atom would then consist only of the proton.
When a neutron decays what does it form?
Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 885.7±0.8 s (about 15 minutes), decaying by emission of a negative electron and antineutrino to become a proton: : n0 → p+ + e− + νe
