How many particles in a hydrogen atom?

What is the mass number of the hydrogen isotope that contain 2 neutrons?

All hydrogen atoms contain 1 proton each. The mass number of an isotope is defined as the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons [note correct spelling] in a nucleus of an atom of the isotope. Therefore, hydrogen with 2 neutrons has a mass number of (1 + 2) or 3.


How do istopes hydrogen -2 and hydrogen -3 differ?

The hydrogen-2 isotope, sometimes called "deuterium", contains one proton and one neutron in the nucleus of the atom, instead of having only one proton. THis makes it heavier than normal, and is sometimes called "heavy hydrogen". The hydrogen-3 isotope, called "tritium", has one proton and TWO neutrons, and is somewhat radioactive. Tritium has a half-life of 12.3 years, and decays into helium-3.


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.


What is the mass number of hydrogen -1?

The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 Grams per mol. This is the relative atomic mass because it is a weighted average of all hydrogen isotopes. The relative atomic mass of hydrogen is about 1 because the most common isotope contains only one proton and one electron giving it a mass of roughly one gram per mol. This isotope is the most abundant by far comprising 99.985 percent of all hydrogen. Since then other isotopes(hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3) make up such a small part of the weighted average it offsets the relative atomic mass of 1 by very little.

If hydrogen atom has a mass of 3 is it isotope?

Yes, all forms of hydrogen atoms are isotopes of the element. H-3 is one of the three possible isotopes of hydrogen.


Where is the mass number of an isotope of this atom that has 2 neutrons?

If you think to tritium (hydrogen-3) the mass number is 3.If you think to helium-4 the mass number is 4.


What atom has an atomic mass of 3?

Deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen, has an atomic mass of 3. It has one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus.


What has an atomic mass of 3?

Tritium, an isotope of hydrogen, or Helium-3 (which does not have a specific name).


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.


Where does the sun gets energy from and goes to light and heat?

The sun uses nuclear fusion to produce light and energy. the process is relatively complicated but simplified it looks something like this. step 1: hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom = deutrerium atom (an isotope of hydrogen (one extra neutron)) + positron + neutrino step 2: Deutrerium atom + hydrogen atom = helium 3 (an isotope of Helium (missing one neutron)) + energy step 3: helium 3 atom + helium 3 atom = helium atom + hydrogen atom + hydrogen atom + energy.


The atomic mass of an atom is equal to the sum of the numbers of what?

The mass number of an atom is the average of all it's isotopes in ratio to how often an isotope occurs naturally (abundance). An isotope is a variant of an element that has a different number of neutrons, therefore causing the atom to have a different mass. The percent abundance of an isotope is converted to a fraction, and multiplied by the mass of the isotope. Then all the factional masses of different isotopes are added together. Atomic mass = (mass isotope 1)x(fractional natural abundance of isotope 1) + (mass isotope 2)x(fractional natural abundance of isotope 2) + (mass isotope 3)x(fractional natural abundance of isotope 3) For example: Hydrogen has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: Protium - Abundance - 99.985% (.99985) Mass - 1.0078 Deuterium - Abundance - .015% (.00015) Mass - 2.014 Tritium - Abundance - 0% (.000) Mass - 3.016 Atomic mass number of Hyrdogen = (.99985)(1.0078) + (.00015)(2.014) + (.000)(3.016) = 1.00795 Go look up the mass number of Hydrogen on the periodic table and it says 1.008


What is the mass of an isotope of this atom that has 2 neutrons?

It is 3 because you have to add the neutrons and the protons.
