Explanation:
Mainly a hydrogen atom has 3 isotopes..
Protium
Duterium
Tritium
For protium isotope;
It has;
1 electrone
1 protone
0 nutrones
The mass of a protone can be considered as 1 a.m.u(atomic mass unit) for an electrone that is 1/1840 a.m.u.
Therefore the mass of protium isotope sholud be 1+ 1/1840 which is equal to 1841 times to the mass of an electrone.
For duterium isotope;
It has;
1 protone
1 electrone
1 nutrone
So the mass of this isotope should be;
2+ 1/1840 which is equal to 3681 times to the mass of an electrone.
For tritium isotope;
It has;
1 protone
1 electrone
2 nutrones
So the mass of this isotope should be;
3+ 1/1840 which is equal to 5521 times to the mass of an electrone.
Answer:
Most of the hydrogen is heavier than an electron is 1800 time
