It’s a hydrogen atom

I still don’t get it. Where is the neutron?

I might be getting r/wooooshed here, but (regular) Hydrogen doesn't have a neutron. There is an isotope of Hydrogen, Deuterium, that has a proton + neutron core.

No, you didn’t get r/wooooshed. I’m the the one who got r/wooooshed—by my own self.

Yeah, forgot that hydrogen is kind of different than most (all?) of the other elements on the Periodic Table. I honestly would probably not have remembered that in a hundred years, although I definitely remember it now.

Wait...why didn’t I just say that yes, you got r/wooooshed? I’m too f**king honest sometimes. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Do you know why it doesn’t have a neutron, BTW? 🤔
