1H

(protium, 1hydrogen)
(hydrogen isotope with no neutrons)

Hydrogen with no neutrons (mass number 1) has symbol 1H. It has the name protium (its nucleus consists of a singe proton) but that name is not commonly used in astrophysics. In some contexts (such discussions of main sequence stars versus brown dwarfs) the term hydrogen is used to mean 1H, as something different than deuterium 2H.
