Every element except hydrogen needs at least one neutron in its nucleus because it needs attractive force from the strong nuclear interaction to counter the electrostatic repulsion between the protons.

Helium. All elements have neutrons except hydrogen.


What is found in the nucleus of all elements except for hydrogen?

Is a molecule a neutron?

No. a neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nuclei of all atoms except for hydrogen-1.


What element has A neutrons in its nucleus?

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.


Which two particles make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom?

The two particles that make up most of the mass of a hydrogen-2 atom are the proton and neutron. The proton has a positive charge and is responsible for defining the element, while the neutron has no charge and helps stabilize the nucleus.


Are they more than a single neutron in an atom?
