I'm not sure how to type superscript and subscript but the top number is the atomic weight and the bottom # is the atomic number or the amount of protons

What are three types of radiometric dating?

Three types of radiometric dating are carbon-14 dating, uranium-lead dating, and potassium-argon dating. These methods are used to determine the age of rocks and fossils by measuring the decay of radioactive isotopes into stable isotopes over time.


What are three forms of radiation that humans cannot see?

Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays are three forms of radiation that humans cannot see. These forms of radiation have wavelengths shorter than visible light and are not within the visible spectrum.


What are the three major subatomic particles in an atom?

The three major sub-atomic particles are : - PROTONS, ELECTRONS and NEUTRONS. Protons are positively charged (+) and found in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are negatively charged (-) and found around (not IN) the nucleus of an atom. Neutrons have no charge (o) and are found in the nucleus of an atom . The number of protons ( and electrons) is the ATOMIC NUMBER, and the atoms position in the Periodic Table . The number of protons equals the number of electrons ( in order to keep the charges balanced). The Sum total of the protons and neutrons is the ATOMIC MASS/WEIGHT. The number of neutrons can vary This gives a different atomic mass for a given element and are known as ISOTOPES. Taking hydrogen as an example It has three isotopes. [1/1]H (Protium) ; 1 proton . ZERO(NO) neutrons, 1 electron. [2/1]H (deuterium); 1 proton , 1 neutron , 1 electron [3/1]H (tritium); 1 proton, 2 neutrons, 1 electron . (This isotope is radio-active) [1/1] protium is the most common isotope of hydrogen , and what is normally thought of as hydrogen. [2/1] deuterium is sometimes named as 'heavy hydrogen'. It is not a very common isotope. [3/1] tritium is sometimes named as 'super-heavy hydrogen'. It is a rare isotope ,and because of its radio-activity only found in labs. However, as mentioned above for all isotopes the protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom, and collectively they are named as 'nucleons'. The electrons are found outside the nucleus. These 'rules' apply to all elements.

How many stable isotopes does hydrogen have?

Hydrogen has three stable isotopes: protium (1H), deuterium (2H), and tritium (3H). Among these, protium is the most abundant, making up over 99.98% of naturally occurring hydrogen.

What is the collective name given to a mixture of the three isotopes of hydrogen when they are present in the same ratio in the universe as a whole?

The collective name given to a mixture of the three isotopes of hydrogen is isotope-pair. This is only when they are present in the same ratio in the universe as a whole.?æ


How are the three isotopes of hydrogen alike?

The three isotopes of hydrogen are called: hydrogen (1H or H, no neutrons), deuterium (2H or D, one neutron), and tritium (3H or T, two neutrons).They each have their own special name to make it easier to refer to them. They are fairly commonly used in chemistry and physics (especially deuterium).


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

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.
