Question

Hydrogen has 3 isotopes written as h atomic no.1 n mass no.1 h atomic no 1 n mass no.2 h atomic no 1 n mass no.3.Explain y this isotope have almost identical chemical properties explain y they r electrical neutral

Answer 1

All the isotopes of Hydrogen have same chemical properties because in a chemical reaction, only the valence shell electrons participate. But as all the isotopes, even though have different mass no. but all have the same no. of electrons. So all of them have similar chemical properties. They will have different physical properties but.

All of them are electrically neural because the no. of electrons balances out with the no. of protons. They just have different no. of neutrons.

I hope you understood it. Peace.
