Chapter 22: Problem 19

(a) Give the names and chemical symbols for the three isotopes of hydrogen. (b) List the isotopes in order of decreasing natural abundance.

Short Answer

Expert verified
(a) The three isotopes of hydrogen and their chemical symbols are: 1. Protium: \(_1^1\)H 2. Deuterium: \(_1^2\)H 3. Tritium: \(_1^3\)H (b) The isotopes in order of decreasing natural abundance are: 1. Protium (\(_1^1\)H) - about 99.985% 2. Deuterium (\(_1^2\)H) - about 0.015% 3. Tritium (\(_1^3\)H) - trace amounts, close to 0%.

Step by step solution

01

Identify hydrogen isotopes and their chemical symbols

There are three isotopes of hydrogen: 1. Protium: \(_1^1\)H 2. Deuterium: \(_1^2\)H 3. Tritium: \(_1^3\)H
02

List the isotopes in order of decreasing natural abundance

The order of the three isotopes according to their natural abundance in decreasing order is: 1. Protium (\(_1^1\)H) - about 99.985%, 2. Deuterium (\(_1^2\)H) - about 0.015%, 3. Tritium (\(_1^3\)H) - trace amounts, close to 0%.
