Q. Determine the total number of neutrons in three isotopes of hydrogen(1) 1(2) 2(3) 3(4) 4
Identify Isotope Neutrons: Identify the number of neutrons in each isotope of hydrogen. Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium (1 proton, 0 neutrons), deuterium (1 proton, 1 neutron), and tritium (1 proton, 2 neutrons). The numbers given (1, 2, 3, 4) do not correspond to the number of neutrons in the isotopes of hydrogen but rather to the isotope number for identification in this problem.
Calculate Total Neutrons: Calculate the total number of neutrons in the three isotopes.Protium has 0 neutrons, deuterium has 1 neutron, and tritium has 2 neutrons.Total number of neutrons = 0 (protium) + 1 (deuterium) + 2 (tritium) = 3 neutrons.
