Protium
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-009604
The most common and lightest isotope of the element hydrogen, consisting of a single proton and no neutrons in its nucleus. It is represented by the symbol H or 1H. Protium accounts for over 99.98% of all naturally occurring hydrogen atoms, making it the predominant form of hydrogen in the universe.
