"Three nuclei with one proton are known ?that? contain 0,1 and 2 neutrons, respectively."
0 Not all the atoms of an element need have the same number of 00 neutrons 00 in their nuclei. In fact, it is precisely the variation in the number of neutrons in the nuclei of atoms that gives rise to 01 b 00 isotope 02 b 00 s. 00 Hydrogen 00 is a case in point. It has the atomic number 1. 01 i 00 Three nuclei with one proton are known 01 u 00 that 02 u 00 contain 0, 1, and 2 neutrons, respectively. 02 i 00 The three share the place in the periodic table assigned to atomic number 1 and hence are called 01 b 00 isotope 02 b 00 s (from the Greek 01 i 00 isos 02 i 00 , meaning “same,” and 01 i 00 topos 02 i 00 , signifying “place”) of hydrogen. 02 br

0 It's very awkward phrasing either way. Scientists know of three types of atoms that have one proton and 0, 1, and 2 neutrons, respectively. There are three known isotopes for Hydrogn: each has one proton, but 0, 1, or 2 neutrons, respectively. 0-

1 i 00 to 02 i 00 is an interesting suggestion, and that works. 02 br
00 The original, with 01 i 00 that 02 i 00 , is a case of a 'heavy' relative clause 'floating' to the right. The underlying form is 02 br
01 i 00 Three nuclei [that contain 0, 1, and 2 neutrons, respectively], with one proton are known. 02 i 02 br
