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 hydrogen isatopes differ?

Hydrogen isotopes differ by the number of neutrons they contain. Protium, the most common isotope, has no neutrons. Deuterium, another isotope, contains one neutron. Tritium, the third hydrogen isotope, contains two neutrons.


If a hydrogen has 2 neutrons is it an isotope?

The number of neutrons in hydrogen depends on the isotope. Protium,deuteriumand tritium have 0, 1 and 2 neutrons respectively.


Do atoms have neutrons in them?

Atoms of all elements can have neutrons in them. Only the element hydrogen has an isotope whose atoms do not contain neutrons, but all other isotopes of hydrogen have neutrons in them. In the heavier elements the number of neutrons always exceeds the number of protons in the atom.


What does promethium contain?

The atom of promethium contain 61 protons and electrons.For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 61


How many neutrons are in the isotope in 1-h-1?

There is 0 neutron in a Hydrogen-1 isotope. Hydrogen-1 has an atomic number of 1, which means it has 1 proton and no neutrons.


How many protons and newtrons does a hydrogen atom contain?

There is one proton, one electron in hydrogen. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope of hydrogen. Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium, deuterium and tritium with 0, 1 and 2 neutrons respectively.


What makes an isotope different from an atom that has the same number of protons?

Elements are substances such as Hydrogen. It has 1 Proton, and 0-2 neutrons. Since the number of neutrons can vary, we call each form of Hydrogen an isotope. A hydrogen with no neutrons and a hydrogen with 1 nuetron are both still Hydrogens. We simply call one the Hydrogen-1 Isotope. An isotope is just a variation of an element as the element can have different numbers of neutrons. All isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, else itd be an isotope of another element.


What is the nucleus of fermium?

The nucleus of fermium contain 100 protons.For each isotope the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 100


What contains promethium?

The atom of promethium contain 61 protons and electrons.For each isotope the number of neutrons is different. Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 61


What are the atomic number for the hydrogen isotope with 1 neutron?

Atomic number of hydrogen is (always) 1. The mass number is 2, sum of number of protons (1 in H) and neutrons (1 in H in this case). This isotope of hydrogen is called deuterium.By the way: neurons (without t) is a very different thing!


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 the number of neutron in one atom of hydrogen?

Hydrogen does not have any neutrons unless it is the isotope deuterium ( 1 neutron) or tritium (2 neutrons)
