Can you tell me how many electrons does an ionized atom of hydrogen have if it loses 1 electron?
And also what then is the total charge on this ion of hydrogen?
Thanks!

New at this but I think i may have the answer.

1. Hydrogen has one electron, A hydrogen atom ionized becomes a proton by itself.

Don't know about total charge.

Link here to a lecture that may help. http://www.astro.cornell.edu/academics/courses/astro1101/lectures/lec08.htm

The total charge will become +1 because the hydrogen ion lacks a single electron. That is why hydrogen ions are usually written H⁺.

So a hydrogen ion is only a proton; there are no electrons. There are also no neutrons unless you have a heavier isotope of hydrogen.
