Question

Hydrogen exists in three isotopic forms, 11H, 21H, 31H known as protium, deuterium and tritium. Why are all the isotopes neutral in nature? *


(a) Since neutrons are neutral in nature hence isotopes are electrically neutral.
(b) All the isotopes have one electron and one proton, hence they are neutral.
(c) All the isotopes have one proton and one neutron, hence they are neutral.
(d) Increasing number of protons in the isotopes make them neutral. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

ans b option is correct .

it is most important question for chemistry test.

my ans is totally correct because I have discussed it to my teacher also .

so .write b option it is correct .

because in these neutrons are different.

Answer 2

(b) All the isotopes have one electron and one proton, hence they are neutral in nature.

Explanation:

• Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number and place in the periodic table but distinct nucleon numbers due to different quantities of neutrons in their nuclei.
• The three most stable isotopes of hydrogen: Protium [${}_1^1H$], Deuterium [${}_1^2H$], and Tritium [${}_1^3H$].

• Isotopic forms of hydrogen ${}_1^1H,\;{}_1^2H,\;{}_1^3H,$ are neutral in nature due to the presence of an equal number of protons and electrons.
