The only element without any neutrons is Hydrogen-1, which has a lone proton.
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 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)
Hydrogen ion is the only element that has no neutron and one proton. That is why it is basically a proton.
hydrogenEdit.Whoever wrote the answer above clearly is an idiot. At the moment there is no element with 0 neutrons. However, there are theories to an element known as element X. This element is obviously complete theory.By the way hydrogen has 1 neuron not 0.
The element that an atom is is determined by the number of protons. The number of electrons can be changed (creating an ion), and the number of neutrons can be changed (creating an isotope), and as long as the number of protons does not change, the element that the atom is does not change.
Hydrogen is the only element without any neutrons.
To provide the attractive binding of the nuclear strong force, without adding to the electromagnetic force. Without neutrons, the only chemical element would be hydrogen.
Atoms of the same element with varying numbers of neutrons are isotopes.
Only hydrogen has un-isotopic atoms without a neutron. Hydrogen can sometimes though have one or so neutrons in its isotopes. The other elements must have neutrons to keep the protons from repelling each other in the atom's nucleus.

The element neon is a pure element made of only neutrons, electrons, and protons.
Every element has a specific number of protons, which is how an element is identified. That gives its atomic number. The number of neutrons can vary, and therefore is not useful in identifying an element.
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.
