  • Hydrogen: Structure, Isotopes, and Basic Properties
    Hydrogen is made up of just one proton and one electron. It's the simplest element in the periodic table.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Proton: A positively charged particle located in the atom's nucleus.

    * Electron: A negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus.

    While most hydrogen atoms have only one proton and one electron, there are also isotopes of hydrogen:

    * Deuterium: Contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus.

    * Tritium: Contains one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus.

    These isotopes are still considered hydrogen because they have the same number of protons (which determines the element).
