Answer:
Explanation:
A hydrogen atom has an atomic number of 1.
So it's proton number will always be 1.
A neutral hydrogen atom does not have any charge.
So it has the same amount of electrons as protons, which turns out to be also 1.
A neutral hydrogen atom has an atomic mass of ≈
1.00794 amu ≈ 1 amu.
To find the amount of neutrons, we take the proton number and subtract it from the mass number.
1 − 1 = 0
So a neutral hydrogen atom has no neutrons.
In summary,
A hydrogen atom has
1 proton
1 electron
0 neutrons
