"Nydnonen" is the word "hydrogen" with three consonants replaced by the letter 'n' so that it has four of them, representing the four neutrons. The proton and electron have been replaced with neutrons. "Neutral Quadrium": Quadrium is the extremely rare artificial isotope hydrogen-4, with a proton and three neutrons.The title text provides three other names for Oops, All Neutrons: The name is probably a reference to an American breakfast cereal called Oops! All Berries, which has also been referenced in 2256. As the existence of tetraneutrons is still uncertain, their possible configurations are unknown but the depicted configuration is very unlikely given the characteristics of the fundamental forces. This fictional form consists of four neutrons, with one orbiting around a group of three. "Maximum strength" may be a reference to over-the-counter medicines that contain the largest permitted quantity of active ingredients. All isotopes heavier than 3H decay almost immediately, most likely by dripping neutrons and emitting a large amount of energy. The heaviest hydrogen isotope known at present is 7H, with six neutrons. This fictional isotope consists of an electron, a proton and what appear to be at least 15 neutrons. The name is likely a reference to "instant" food, such as noodles, which are reduced for convenience and can be quickly reconstituted when required. While the free proton is technically a positive hydrogen ion, the emitted proton and electron will only form into an atom together about four times in a million. An unbound neutron will decay into a proton, an electron and an antineutrino after a mean lifetime of just under fifteen minutes. The neutron could bind to the proton, but will more likely elastically scatter away. This fictional form consists of a proton, electron and neutron orbiting around nothing, with the appearance of all rotating as if on a wheel rim. A Penning trap can confine electrons to move in circles. A free electron will not circle around nothing but will react to electromagnetic fields. Following the naming of the heavier hydrogen isotopes, where a prefix designating the number of nucleons is followed by the suffix "-ium", the lack of a nucleus is designated here by the absence of a prefix. This is a free electron orbiting around nothing. It can also be designated as hydrogen-3, with the symbol T or, more often, 3H. It is radioactive with a half-life of about twelve years and is very rare (but not as rare as unbound "instant hydrogen" neutrons). Tritium is the third most common isotope of hydrogen, with an electron orbiting a nucleus of one proton and two neutrons to give it an atomic mass of about three daltons. Its chemical symbol is D, or 2H, and it's also called heavy hydrogen or hydrogen-2. About one of every 6,760 hydrogen atoms in seawater is deuterium. It is also occasionally known as protium.ĭeuterium is the second most common isotope of hydrogen, with one electron and both a neutron and proton in its nucleus. Hydrogen-1 is the most common isotope of hydrogen, with one proton and one electron, depicted with the electron orbiting the central proton. This comic shows real and humorously fictional forms of hydrogen, generally depicted according to the Chadwick model of the atom see 2100: Models of the Atom for details. Hydrogen is the simplest of the chemical atoms, usually consisting of an electron orbiting a lone proton, but it has two other naturally occurring isotopes. This is because the number of electrons determines chemical properties, and all three isotopes have one electron in their atoms.Title text: Oops, All Neutrons is also known as Neutral Quadrium, Nydnonen, and Goth Tritium. For example, carbon-12 is an isotope of carbon with a mass number of 12.Īll three isotopes of hydrogen have identical chemical properties. IsotopeĪn isotope is named after the element and the mass number of its atoms. Hydrogen-1 is the most abundant (most common) isotope of hydrogen. Isotopes of an element have:Īll hydrogen atoms contain one proton (and one electron ), but they can contain different numbers of neutrons. Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Atoms of the same element must have the same number of protons, but they can have different numbers of neutrons.
