Question

what is meant by ortho and para hydrogen

Answer 1

$\huge{Hey Mate!!!}$

Here is ur answer ⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬

❇➡ Hydrogen molecule is formed due to combination of two hydrogen atoms. The two protons present in the nucleus of both the hydrogen atoms may spin either in the same direction or in opposite direction.Thus depending on the direction of the two protons in the nucleus,two types of hydrogen molecules can be explained.

⚫ Ortho hydrogen:—

The hydrogen molecule in which both the protons in the nuclei of both hydrogen atoms spin in the same direction is called as ortho hydrogen. In this form the resultant nuclear spin is one.

⚫ Para hydrogen:—-

Hydrogen molecule in which both the protons in the nuclei of both hydrogen atoms spin in opposite direction is called para hydrogen. In this form resultant nuclear spin is zero.

Hope it helps.

Cheers!!!

Answer 2

Ortho and para hydrogen are the two position depending on the spin of the nuclei.

Explanation:

Spinning of molecules :-

A dihydrogen molecule contains two atoms, where nuclei of atoms are spinning mode.

The direction of the spin of the nuclei, so that hydrogen will have two different spins the hydrogens are of two types:

Ortho hydrogen molecules -

• Here the spin of both the nuclei are in the same direction.
• Both the protons in the nuclei of  hydrogen atoms spin in same direction.
• Resultant nuclear spin is one.

Para hydrogen.

• Hydrogen molecule in which the spins of both the nuclei are in the opposite direction.
• resultant nuclear spin is zero.
