Yes. A hydrogen atom can lose its only electron in an ionic bond. The atom would have no electrons.
Actually the correct answer is No.
Every atom has an equal number of electrons and protons so that the negative and positive charges balance out. However, the answer isn't as simple as that because we know that ionic atoms and compounds are able to give up or take in an extra electron to form positive and negative ions. The most common ionic compound is water:
H2O which can disassociate into ions H+ and OH-
In theory the H+ ion is a hydrogen proton without an associated electron, however it has been established that H+ does not exist independently, rather it associates with another water molecule to form the ion H3O+
Therefore 2H2O -><- H3O+ + OH-
So no atom or molecule can exist without an associated electron, even if that electron has to be shared with a fellow molecule.

What is the atomic number number of nuetrons and the number of electrons of hydrogen?
Hydrogen atom: Atomic number: 1 Number of neutrons: 0 [for commonest isotope] Number of electrons: 1
Which type of particle has an atomic number of -1 and a mass number 0?
This question probably refers to a positron, although I am not sure that the description of it as having a negative atomic number is widely recognized.
Could an atom ever have a higher atomic number then a mass number?
No, atomic number (z) is always bigger or at least equal to mass number (m). (If there were NO neutrons (n=0): z=p=m-n=m-0=m , ie. Hydrogen with p=1, n=0, z=m)
How do you calculate the amount of protons or neutrons in an element?
well you look at the periodic table of elements. the atomic number equals the number of protons. Then subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass (both protons and nuetrons have atomic mass units of 1 and electrons equal 0). That will give you the number of nuetrons.
Is there an element that has the same atomic number and atomic mass?
No, there is no naturally occurring element with the same atomic number and atomic mass. The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes, which have different numbers of neutrons. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus, which determines its identity. Therefore, the atomic number and atomic mass are different for each element.
What is the number of atomic mass in an atom?
Relative mass number of an electron is 0

Which atom has atomic number zero and mass number zero?
An atom with atomic number zero and mass number zero does not exist in nature. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus, and an atom must have at least one proton to be stable.
Could an atom ever have a higher atomic number then a mass number?
No, atomic number (z) is always bigger or at least equal to mass number (m). (If there were NO neutrons (n=0): z=p=m-n=m-0=m , ie. Hydrogen with p=1, n=0, z=m)

Nitrogen has an atomic mass of 14 and an atomic number of 7 so the number of neutrons must be?
The atomic mass of an atom is the total mass of its particles. The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. To find the number of neutrons in an atom, we take its atomic mass (the total mass of its particles) and subtract its atomic number (the number of protons and electrons in the atom). A: Lithium has an atomic mass of 7 and an atomic number of 3 so the number of neutrons is equal to 4. (7 - 3 = 4)
What is the atomic number atomic mass and net charge of an atom of iron?
Atomic Number: This is the number of protons an element has. Answer: 26 Atomic Mass: Ignoring electrons, which are incredibly small and don't have much of an effect on the mass... This is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons Answer: 56 (26 protons + 30 neutrons) Net Charge: Protons are positive and electrons are negative. The net charge can be found by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. 0 is neutral. Answer: +3 (26 protons - 23 electrons).
What is hydrogen's number of neutrons equals mass number - atomic number equals?
The number of neutrons in an atom can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number (number of protons) from the mass number. For hydrogen, the atomic number is 1 and the mass number is also 1. Therefore, the number of neutrons in hydrogen is 1 (mass number - atomic number = 1 - 1 = 0 neutrons).
What is the total number of neutrons in an atom of 0-18?
An atom of oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons. This is calculated by subtracting the atomic number (8) from the atomic mass (18).
