No, the former answer (striked through below this) is very wrong!
Hydrogen (elemental H atom) contains only 1 (one!) electron (1s1) and since a H ion (H+) has lost that one to become stable, this H+ ion has no (zero!) electrons at all.
Only the very rare and exceptional, negatively charged hydride ion H- ion contains two electrons (1s2 configuration, not favoured, not enough electronegativity)
Yes. A Hydrogen atom "wants" to be stable, so it gains an electron to be iso-electronic with helium. After that, its electron configuration is 1s2. H+

∙ 13y agoNo. It has no electrons, that's why it's H+. A Hydrogen atom has one electron (negatively charged) and a proton (positively charged) though elemental Hydrogen is a gas with two hydrogen atoms bound together. H+ is a Hydrogen atom that has lost an electron (it's negative charge) and so is positively charged (Hence H-PLUS)

An atom that has lost or gained electrons is an?
an ion
What is the diffent between an atom and an ion?
An atom has the same number of protons and electrons. Thus, the charge is neutral. An ion is a charged atom, which means it has a charge of some type (positive or negative). If a lithium atom (3 protons and 3 electrons) gains two electrons, it will become an ion with a charge of 2-. If it loses 3 electrons, it will become an ion with a charge of 3+
How many electrons are in Li ion?
3
When an atom has different amounts of protons and electrons it is called an?
An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
Lithium Ion has how many electrons and protons?
When you say Ion you have to specify whether its negative or positive and the number associated with it. For example: if its Li 3- it means it has 3 more electrons then regular Lithium (which has 3 electrons) that makes it 6 electrons and 3 protons (this nr doesnt change) for Li 3-. Obviously calculations vary depending on the type of ion.
How many electrons does an H plus ion have in the first shell?
The H+ ion has no electrons.
Which ion has no electrons?
All elements have electrons, when the amount of electrons they have changes they are called ions. They only element that forms an ion with no electrons is Hydrogen (H). To learn more about electrons and ions you should inquire about electron configuration.
How many protons electrons and neutrons are present in a hydrogen ion?
Hydrogen is a funny critter. It always has one proton, and it usually has no neutrons. But rarely it can have one neutron, and even more rarely, it can have two neutrons. There is more. Hydrogen can appear either as just the proton having loaned out its electron to become a positive ion (H+), or it can at times borrow an electron and become a negative ion (H-). That means the ion might have two electrons, but usually it has no electrons.
How many valence electrons will hydrogen have after chlorine steals electrons?
The hydrogen ion H+ is without electrons.
How many electrons and protons does an ion have?
There are many different types of ions, having many different quantities of electrons and protons. The H+ ion has one proton and no electrons. That's the simplest.
Why is o6 a helium like ion?
Helium has two valence electrons. O6+ ion (a hypothetical ion) will also have 2 valence electrons.
How are negative and positive ions made?
A negative ion (anion) is formed after gain of electrons in the atom.A positive ion (cation) is formed after loss of electrons from the atom.
Why does ammonia accepts H ions in water?
The ammonia molecule has a lone pair of electrons with which a hydrogen ion might bond, forming an ammonium ion. H+ + NH3 --> NH4+
What is the name for a selenium ion with 36 electrons?
When selenium gains two electrons, it becomes the selenide ion.
Which group have two valence electrons and make a 2 ion?
alkaline earth metals or group 2 elements have two valence electrons and make +2 ion.
Why does the H plus ion act as a Lewis acid?
A lewis acid is a lone pair acceptor, the H+ ion has no electrons, so can easily accept a lone pair from another atom.
What is the charge on a Carbonate ion and Compared to the number of protons how many electrons does carbonate have?
The charge on a carbonate ion is -2; therefore, the ion has two more electrons than protons.
