A hydrogen ion (H+) has ____neutron(s)____proton(s), and____electron(s).
- a. 1; 0; 2
- b. 0; 1;0
- c. 0; 0; 1
- d. 1; 1;0
Introduction:
Neutron is neutral subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of the atom. Protons are the positive particles that are found in the nucleus of the atom while electrons are the negative particles present outside the nucleus in an atom.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
Hydrogen ion has only one proton present in its nucleus. Therefore, option b is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct statement:
Hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron present in it. It does not have any neutron in it. The hydrogen ion is formed when it loses its one electron. So the hydrogen ion has only one proton left.
Option b is given as “0; 1; 0”.
As, “hydrogen ion has one proton with zero electron and neutron,” is the right answer.
Hence, option b is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a is given as “1; 0; 2”.
Hydrogen ion has zero neutrons. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option c is given as “0; 0; 1”.
Hydrogen ion has one proton present in its nucleus. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option d is given as “1; 1; 0”.
Hydrogen ion does not have neutron present in it. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.
The hydrogen atom loses one electron to form hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ion has only one proton left and does not have any electron or neutron.

The most common one, 210Po, has 82 protons and 128 neutrons. When 210Po decays, it emits an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). 210Po decay is tricky to detect because alpha particles do not carry very much energy compared to other forms of radiation. They can be stopped by, for example, a sheet of paper or a few inches of air. This property is one reason why authorities failed to discover toxic amounts of 210Po in the body of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko until after he died suddenly and mysteriously in 2006.
