In hydrogen-1 (1H isotope), there is only one proton. It has just the one nucleon. But there are a couple of other isotopes of hydrogen, and they are hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3. In hydrogen-2, a neutron is bound to the proton, and in hydrogen-3, twoneutrons are bound to the proton. That gives hydrogen-2 twonucleons, and hydrogen-3 three nucleons. Hydrogen will have either one, two or three nucleons, depending on which isotope we are investigating.

Where is the nucleus of an atom?

The number of nucleons in an atom can vary. A nucleon is either of the two components that make up an atomic nucleus. That's either a proton or a neutron. Different atoms have different numbers of nucleons, and even different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of nucleons (because of isotopic variation). Let's look an a couple of examples to make our point.In hydrogen-1, which is the simplest and most common form of hydrogen, there is one proton in the nucleus of the atom. It has 1 nucleon. In hydrogen-2, there are a proton and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 2 nucleons. In hydrogen-3, there are a proton and two neutrons in that nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. In helium-3, there are two protons and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. You can see what's happening if you think it through.
