Hydrogen GasHydrogen is the first element on the periodic table, with an atomic number of 1. This means each hydrogen atom has one proton. However, you're unlikely to find a hydrogen atom with the 'standard' equal number of protons, neutron and electrons per atom. The most common isotope of hydrogen is protium, which has one proton and no neutrons. Hydrogen is found in water and organic compounds. It's the most common element in the universe.
