Question

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does 1 H+ isotope contain

Answer 1

Explanation:

An isotope is defined as the specie which contains same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

For example, $_{1}H^{+}$ is an isotope of hydrogen atom.

The number at the bottom of the symbol of an element represents the number of protons present in the atom.

So, the given atom contains only one proton and 0 neutrons. Also, when an atom is neutral in nature then it contains same number of protons and electrons.

But as the given atom has one +1 charge which means that it contains 0 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that $_{1}H^{+}$ contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 0 electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

H+ contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 0 electrons.

Explanation:

• An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
• Atoms are made of sub-atomic particles neutrons and protons found in the nucleus and electrons found in the energy levels.
• A hydrogen atom contains 1 proton and 0 neutrons in the nucleus and 1 electron in the energy levels.
• A hydrogen atom loses an electron to form an ion with 1 proton, 0 neutron and 0 electron.
