Hydrogen-1 is called protium for this purpose. Its nucleus is a single proton. Hydrogen-2 is called deuterium or heavy hydrogen. Its nucleus has a proton and a neutron. The nucleus is sometimes called a deuteron, especially when revved up and smashed into something. Hydrogen-3 is called tritium. The nucleus has a protons and two neutrons. The nucleus itself is sometimes called a triton.
