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.

Is hydrogen a substance made up of one kind of atom?

Yes and no. There are 3 isotopes of hydrogen. All are hydrogen but each is different because they have different weights because they have different numbers of neutrons. Hydrogen is an element and it is defined by the number of protons so, in that respect, all hydrogen is the same because all hydrogen has a single proton.
