A neutral atom of hydrogen-2 contains (same as 2H)
A
2 protons, 2 electrons, and 4 neutrons
B
2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons.
C
1 proton, 1 electron, and 2 neutrons.
D
1 proton, 1 electron, and 1 neutron.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It comprises 1 proton and 1 neutron in its nucleus. The nucleus of hydrogen 2 is termed as deuteron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that is composed of one proton, one neutron, and one electron. The nucleus of deuterium is composed of a proton and a neutron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrogen-2 (deuterium) A deuterium atom contains one proton, one neutron, and one electron.

Detailed explanation-4: -We have to know that the number of protons, electrons and neutrons present in the neutral hydrogen atom is equal to one, one and zero.

Detailed explanation-5: -The molecular form of hydrogen is more common. H2 is a gas which forms when two hydrogen atoms bond together and become a hydrogen molecule. H2 is also called molecular hydrogen.It consists of two protons and two electrons. Consequently it is the most common form of Hydrogen because it is stable with a neutral charge.
