Answer

  1. 0

Explanation:

Hydrogen exists as three different isotopes. H-1, H-2, and H-3. H-1 is hydrogen with a proton in the nucleus and exists in nature as H2. This is the most common form of hydrogen.

H-2, also known as deuterium, has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus.

H-3, also known as tritium, has one proton and two neutrons in its neucleus. Tritium is a radioactive isotope.

So while the most common form of hydrogen has no neutrons in its neucleus, other isotopes do.
