What is the atomic number and mass number of hydrogen?

Hydrogen it the first element in the Periodic Table. So it has Atomic No. of '1'. For its most common isotope it has an atomic mass of '1'. Hydrogen exists as three isotopes'- #1 ; protium ; Atomic mass '1' ; 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 1 electron #2 ; deuterium ; Atomic mass '2' ; 1 proton, 1 neutron, 1 electron. #3 ' tritium; Atomic Mass '3'; 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron. protium is the most common isotopes of hydrogen mass of '1' ( 1 + 0 = 1) deuterium is less common and is known as 'heavy hydrogen' mass '2' (1+1=2) tritium is rare and is radio-active, and known as 'super heavy hydrogen' (1 + 2 =3) mass '3'.


How can you work out the number of neutons in hydrogen?

Subtract the mass from the number. Hydrogen's mass is just about 1, and it's obviously number 1 on the Table. Therefore, its nucleus has no neutrons.


What is heavier Hydrogen gas or oxygen gas How do you know?

Oxygen is heavier as it has a mass number of 16 whereas hydrogen has a mass number of 1. Both form diatomic molecules (molecules of two atoms) making the formula masses 32 for oxygen and 2 for hydrogen.


What is a hydrogen isotope with a mass of 3?

The hydrogen isotope with a mass of 3 is tritium. It consists of one proton and two neutrons, making it heavier than the more common hydrogen isotopes deuterium (mass 2) and protium (mass 1). Tritium is radioactive and is often used in nuclear reactions and research.


What atomic number equals one?

Hydrogen Atomic No. (Z) is '1' No. of protn is '1' No. of electrons is '1' Atomic Mass of the protium isotope is '1' In the Periodic Table it is found in position Mo. '1'. NB Hydrogen has three isotopes #1 protium ; 1 proton , 0 neutrons , 1 electron (Atomic Mass '1'). #2 deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron , 1 electrons ( Aromic Mass '2') #3 tritium ; 1 proton , 2 neutrons, 1 electron ( Aromic mass '3').

What is the atomic mass number of element d?

The atomic mass number of an element is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It is denoted by the symbol A. If you provide the symbol or name of element d, I can tell you its atomic mass number.


What is hydrogen's atomic mass number?

Hydrogen is a gas. Mass number of it is 2.


What is the atomic number and mass number of deuterium 2H?

The atomic number of deuterium (2H) is 1, as it has one proton in its nucleus. The mass number of deuterium is 2, which is the sum of the protons and neutrons in its nucleus (1 proton + 1 neutron = mass number of 2).


What is the mass number if hydrogen-2?

Hydrogen is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 1.


What is the atomic number and atomic mass for hydrogen?

Each isotope of each element has an atomic mass number. The atomic mass numbers for hydrogen are 1, 2 and 3. That's because hydrogen has three isotopes. "Regular" hydrogen has a single proton in its nucleus. It's atomic mass is 1. There is also heavy hydrogen, which has a neutron bound to the proton in its nucleus. It's atomic mass is 2. Heavy heavy hydrogen has two neutrons bound together with the proton. It's atomic mass is 3. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on hydrogen.


Why is the periodic number now based on the atomic number of elements and not mass number?

Because the number of protons defines the element, not the mass (you can have Hydrogen with 1 or 2 neutrons and it is still Hydrogen)


Where H2 means a molecule of hydrogen and contains 2 atoms then number of moles is?
