What is the sum of total number of electrons, protons, and neutrons in a hydrogen gas molecule?

I only take answers in terms of Zap amount. Correct answer will receive the same.

The mode answer will be 4: 2 p + 2e

The mean will be more complicated due to a few extra neutrons creeping in occasionally!

The answer is 6, 1p, 1n, 1e each. Assuming we are talking about the most abundant amount we have. Deuterium and Tritium make up a small fraction only

You are right. Heavy hydrogens are not considered here.
