How many neutrons on the middle shell of hydrogen?

Their are only 2 shells in the hydrogen atom.


Isotopes of the same element differ in their number of _____.?

neutrons


Each of the three known isotopes of hydrogen has what protons in the nucleus?

Each isotope of hydrogen has 1 proton in the nucleus. The difference between the isotopes lies in the number of neutrons: hydrogen-1 has 0 neutrons, hydrogen-2 (deuterium) has 1 neutron, and hydrogen-3 (tritium) has 2 neutrons.


Isotopes do not have the same number of which of these-?

The definitive answer is 'Isotopes have a different numbers of neutrons'. Taking hydrogen as an example. Iy has three isotopes. #1 ; protium ; 1 proto and 1 electron 0 neutrons (The commonest isotope) #2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 electrons 1 neutron. (Used to make ;heavy water') #3 ; tritium ; 1 proton , 1 electron, and 2(TWO) neutrons. (Very rare and radio-active).


What is the atomic number of hydrogen and the number of its electrons in the outer shell?

The Atomic No. of hydrogen is '1' . Often indicated by ' Z = 1 '. It is the first and least massive element in the Periodic Table. Hydrogen's atomic structure is ;- 1 proton and 1 electron. However, Hydrogen exhibits three ISOTOPES. They are : - protium ; 1 proton , 1 electron , 0 neutrons ; Atomic mass = 1 deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 electron , 1 neutron ; Atomic mass = 2 tritium ; 1 proton , 1 electron , 2 neutrons ; Atomic mass = 3 Hydrogen's symbol is 'H'. protium isotope is the most common isotope of hydrogen and generally referred to as hydrogen . Atomic Mass is 1 proton + 0 neutrons = 1 Symbolically, [1/1]H deuterium isotope(D) is far less common isotope of hydrogen and generally referred to as 'heavy hydrogen' and makes ' heavy water'. Atomic Mass is 1 proton + 1 neutrons = 2 Symbolically [2/1]H tritium isotope (T) is very rare isotope of hydrogen and generally referred to as 'super-heavy hydrogen' and is radio - active Atomic Mass is 1 proton + 2 neutrons = 3 Symbolically as [3/1]H NB The next element in Periodic Table is Helium (He) Its atomic structure is 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons. Helium's symbol is 'He'. It is the most inert element of all. Atomic Mass is 2 proton + 2 neutrons = 4 Symbolically, [4/2]He Note the differences between hydrogen and helium atomic structures.

how isotopes can have different masses and still be the same element?

For the same element the number of protons and electrons remains unaltered. Howerm for that same element the number of neutrons can vary., leading to different atomic masses. Taking hydrogen as an example. It has three isotopes. #1 ; protium ; 1 proton , 0 neutrons (Atomic Mass ; 1 + 0 = 1 ) #2 ; deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron ( Atomic mass ; 1 + 1 = 2) #3 ; tritium ; 1 proton, 2 neutrons ( Atomic Mass ; 1 + 2 = 3) Notice for each isotope of hydrogen there is only ONE proton. However, for each different isotope of hydrogen there is a different number of neutrons. The Atomic Mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons). #4 ; Helium(He) ; 2 protons, 2 neutrons ( atomic mass 2 + 2 = 4 ). For comparison helium has 2(TWO) protons and 2 neutrons, but it is an entirely different element, because it has a different number of protons.


How many neutrons protons and electrons are in each tritium?

Tritium (Hydrogen-3, H3, T) has 1 Proton, 2 Neutrons, and 1 Electron.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in hydrogen?

Hydrogen - 1 proton, 1 electron Deuterium - 1 proton, 1 neutron 1 electron Tritium - 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron


What is a direct consequence of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nuceuls?

Number of proton = atom numberfor example:Hydrogen has 1 proton and its atom number is also 1Number of neutrons + number of protons = mass numberfor example:Hydrogen have 1 proton and and NO neutrons, so the mass number is 1Helium has 2 protons and and 2 neutrons, so the mass number is 4

Can there be more than one isotope of an element example?

Yes, the number of neutrons can be any number you want it to be, however there is typically only one stable isotope of an element. Radioactive elements and those in the f-block are more likely to have more than one isotope.


What are 3 hydrogens?

How would you describe the isotopes of hydrogen?

Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium (1H), deuterium (2H), and tritium (3H). Protium is the most abundant and consists of one proton and one electron. Deuterium contains one proton, one neutron, and one electron. Tritium has one proton, two neutrons, and one electron.

How many Protons Neutrons Electrons hydrogen have?

A hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron regardless of the isotope.Standard hydrogen(protium) has zero neutrons.The deuterium isotope has 1 neutron and the tritium (very radioactive) has 2 neutrons.
