    All isotopes of hydrogen will always contain one proton, as a change in the amount of protons will change the substance. Assuming all isotopes aren't ions and therefore don't have a charge, then each of these isotopes has one electron. The only difference between them is the amount of neutrons to account for the different atomic masses.

    H1

    one proton

    one electron

    zero neutrons

    H2

    one proton

    one electron

    one neutron

    H3

    one proton

    one electron

    two neutron
