The number of neutrons in a hydrogen atom will depend on which isotope of hydrogen we consider. Not all hydrogen atoms have the same number of neutrons. The vast majority of hydrogen atoms (over 99.98%) have no neutrons at all. Some have 1 (and this is called deuterium) and some have 2 (called tritium). These two isotopes occur naturally but are rare, as can be seen.
To determine the number of neutrons in an atom, you must use the mass number, which is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons. Since the atomic number of the element (for H, the atomic number is 1) tells you the number of protons, you can find the number neutrons by subtraction.
See the Related Questions to the left for how to count the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in any atom of any element.
What else can I help you with?
How many neutrons does hydrogen have?
Hydrogen typically has 0 neutrons.
How do hydrogen neutrons contribute to the stability and properties of an atom?
Hydrogen neutrons contribute to the stability and properties of an atom by helping to balance the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus. Neutrons also play a role in determining the mass of the atom and can affect its stability by influencing the nuclear forces within the nucleus.
Which of the following subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of the atom?
The protons and the neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom.
Which atom do not contain neutron?
Hydrogen-1, (there is a trace of hydrogen-2 (deuterium) found in nature, and hydrogen-3 is an artificial isotope)
Does nuclei of all atoms contain both protons and neutrons?
no the proton and the neutron are in a atom if there are so many protons it will over power the neutron if there are to many neutrons it will over power the proton neutrons and protons must be equal for the atom to be stable.
How many neutrons and electrons does hydrogen en have?
Hydrogen has 1 electron, (1 proton) and 0 neutrons.
How many negatives positives and neutrals do a hydrogen atom have?
A hydrogen atom has one proton, one electron, and zero neutrons.
What is the simplest atom that contains one proton one electron and no neutrons?
The simplest atom that contains one proton, one electron, and no neutrons is the hydrogen atom.
Are there neutrons in a hydrogen atom?
No, a Hydrogen atom does not contain any neutrons. It only has one proton and one electron.
How many neutrons are in hydrogon?
One neutron per atom of hydrogen.
How many protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of a helium-4 atom if it has twice as many protons as a hydrogen atom?
A hydrogen atom has 1 proton in its nucleus. Since the helium-4 atom has twice as many protons as hydrogen, it has 2 protons. Helium-4 also has 2 neutrons, hence the name "4" representing the total number of protons and neutrons.
Atom that has a nucleus with no neutrons?
An atom with a nucleus that has no neutrons is hydrogen-1, which consists of one proton and no neutrons. It is the simplest and lightest element on the periodic table.
How many valence neutrons does hydrogen have?
It's called a valence electron, and there's 1 for a hydrogen atom
How many electrons protons and neutrons are there in each Hydrogen and oxygen atom?
A hydrogen atom typically has one proton and one electron, with no neutrons in its most common isotope. An oxygen atom has eight protons, eight electrons, and usually eight neutrons, though there are isotopes of oxygen that may have different numbers of neutrons.
Only atom that has no neutrons?
Hydrogen (H).
What is only atom without neutrons?
Hydrogen
What is the only atom with a nucleus with no neutrons?
hydrogen
