They are different in the amount of neutrons contained in each atom of the Hydrogen atom. For instance, hydrogen, the element on the periodic chart, normally contains zero (0) neutrons per proton. Sometimes, those protons can catch one neutron, which makes it an atom of deuterium (one proton and one neutron). And, further, those atoms can catch one more neutron, making it a tritium atom, which contains one proton and two neutrons. If you gotta know, the normal hydrogen atom (1 proton, zero neutrons), is called a protion. Hope this helps!!

H-2 has one proton and one neutron; H-3 has one proton and two neutrons. Deuterium is not radioactive; tritium is. The mass of a deuterium atom is (about) 2 amu; the mass of a tritium atom is (about) 3 amu. The kinetic isotope effect is less extreme for deuterium than for tritium. And so on. Which specific properties are you interested in?

The difference is that the mass number is different. Also the ' normal hydrogen' 11H is more common than the others (Deutrium and Tritium).

How do isotopes H-3 and H-2 differ?

Hydrogen-1 isotopes have one proton and no neutrons. Hydrogen-2 isotopes have one proton and one neutron.


What is isotopes name the isotopes of hydrogen and draw the structure of their atoms?

Isotopes of hydrogen are Hydrogen-1 (protium), ‎Hydrogen-2 (deuterium), ‎and Hydrogen-3 (tritium).


how is the structure of hydrogen 1 , hydrogen 2 and hydrogen 3 differ from each other?

The isotopes are different because of the different number of neutrons present in them. The isotopes are protium (1H) with zero neutrons, deuterium (2H) with one neutron, and tritium (3H) with two neutrons.


What are the three different types of hydrogen?

Hydrogen-1, Hydrogen-2, Hydrogen-3 They're isotopes.


Are hydrogen 1 and hydrogen 2 isotopes?

Yes they are. Also note that hydrogen 2 is more usually called deuterium. And hydrogen 3 is called tritium.


What are the isotopes of hydrogen atom?

Normal hydrogen (atomic weight 1), deuterium (2), and tritium (3).


How many isotopes of hydrogen are know?

There are three known naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen; hydrogen-1 with one proton and no neutrons, hydrogen-2 with one proton and one neutron, and hydrogen-3 with one proton and two neutrons.


Is the atomic mass of hydrogen 3?

The atomic mass of the most common form of hydrogen is 1. There are isotopes of hydrogen with a mass of 2 (deuterium) and 3 (tritium), but they are rare.


If hydrogen atom has a mass of 3 is it isotope?

Yes, all forms of hydrogen atoms are isotopes of the element. H-3 is one of the three possible isotopes of hydrogen.


Each of the three known isotopes of hydrogen has what protons in the nucleus?

By definition Hydrogen has only one proton.


Does Hydrogen atom have neutrons Does it have isotopes It used to have 3 isotopes but now recent chemistry Syllabus says it doesn't have neutrons?

There are three naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen. The most common isotope, hydrogen-1, has no neutrons. It accounts for 99.99% of all hydrogen. Hydrogen-2 has a single neutron and accounts for most of the remaining .01%. Hydrogen-3 with two neutrons only exists in trace amounts.
