The basic difference is a neutron. Most hydrogen has a single proton for a nucleus. Hydrogen-2 has a neutron stuck to the proton, and hydrogen-3 has two neutrons stuck to the proton. Hydrogen-3 is a rare and highly unstable form of the first element.
No, a hydrogen atom with a mass of 3 is not an isotope of hydrogen. Hydrogen isotopes include protium (mass 1), deuterium (mass 2), and tritium (mass 3).
The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 Grams per mol. This is the relative atomic mass because it is a weighted average of all hydrogen isotopes. The relative atomic mass of hydrogen is about 1 because the most common isotope contains only one proton and one electron giving it a mass of roughly one gram per mol. This isotope is the most abundant by far comprising 99.985 percent of all hydrogen. Since then other isotopes(hydrogen-2 and hydrogen-3) make up such a small part of the weighted average it offsets the relative atomic mass of 1 by very little.
Yes, it is one of the hydrogen isotopes. This name is sometimes used to distinguish H(1) isotope from H(2) isotope which is commonly called deuterium. The H(3) isotope's name is tritium. Explained: uni = 1 = 1 proton = 0 neutron = mass number (1) = 'normal hydrogen' deutero = 2 = 1 proton = 1 neutron = mass number (2) = 'heavy' hydrogen tri = 3 = 1 proton = 2 neutron = mass number (3)
The hydrogen-2 isotope, sometimes called "deuterium", contains one proton and one neutron in the nucleus of the atom, instead of having only one proton. THis makes it heavier than normal, and is sometimes called "heavy hydrogen". The hydrogen-3 isotope, called "tritium", has one proton and TWO neutrons, and is somewhat radioactive. Tritium has a half-life of 12.3 years, and decays into helium-3.
Hydrogen has an atomicity of 1, meaning that its molecules consist of single hydrogen atoms.
Isotopes (of hydrogen) differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms.
Isotopes have different number of neutrons, in the given isotopes, there are 0 and 1 neutrons respectively.
Hydrogen-1 isotopes have one proton and no neutrons. Hydrogen-2 isotopes have one proton and one neutron.
Hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 isotopes are radioactively stable.
Yes it is true. All isotopes differ in the number of neutrons only.
Isotopes of hydrogen are Hydrogen-1 (protium), ‎Hydrogen-2 (deuterium), ‎and Hydrogen-3 (tritium).
Hydrogen has 1 unstable isotope, and 2 stable isotopes.
neutrons
Hydrogen-1 and hydrogen-2 isotopes are radioactively stable.
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.
Hydrogen-1 has no neutrons while Hydrogen-2 has 1 neutronA hydrogen-1 atom (normal hydrogen) has 1 proton and 1 electron whereas a hydrogen-2 atom (deutrium) has 1 proton, 1 NEUTRON and 1 electron.
Each isotope of hydrogen has 1 proton in the nucleus. The difference between the isotopes lies in the number of neutrons: hydrogen-1 has 0 neutrons, hydrogen-2 (deuterium) has 1 neutron, and hydrogen-3 (tritium) has 2 neutrons.
