What element only has 2 neutrons?
Consider the element helium. Its atomic number is 2, so it has two protons in its nucleus. Its nucleus also contains two neutrons….Mass Number.

| Electrons | 2 |
What element has 2 electrons and 2 neutrons?
helium atom
A typical helium atom contains 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons.
What has 2 protons and neutrons?
Explanation: Helium-3 contains 2 protons and 1 neutron.
Does oxygen have 2 neutrons?
The oxygen atom has therefore 8 neutrons, 8 protons and 8 electrons.
Which isotope of hydrogen has 2 neutrons?
tritium
Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe. Whereas all isotopes of hydrogen have one proton, deuterium also has one neutron and tritium has two neutrons, so their ion masses are heavier than protium, the isotope of hydrogen with no neutrons.
What element is 2 on the periodic table?
Helium

| 4 | Be | Beryllium |
| 5 | B | Boron |
What isotope has 2 protons and 3 neutrons?
Hydrogen has no neutron, deuterium has one, and tritium has two neutrons. The isotopes of hydrogen have, respectively, mass numbers of one, two, and three. Their nuclear symbols are therefore 1H, 2H, and 3H. The atoms of these isotopes have one electron to balance the charge of the one proton.
How many neutrons does Oxygen 2 have?
If we know the atomic number (8), we can subtract that from the mass number to determine the number of neutrons. 16O2− has 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 10 electrons.
How many neutrons does hydrogen-2 have?
one neutron
Deuterium, or hydrogen-2 (bottom left) has one neutron. Tritium, or hydrogen-3 (bottom right) has two neutrons.
How many protons does hydrogen-2 have?
one proton
Hydrogen-2 (Deuterium) A deuterium atom contains one proton, one neutron, and one electron.
How is a neutron made?
A neutron is not made of a proton, electron and an antineutrino. These particles are only its decay products. A neutron is made of 3 quarks, one up quark, and 2 down quarks and many many “intermediate particles” called gluons which carry the interaction between the quarks. Neutrons do not always decay.
