Real questions that test this

ट्रीटियमचा अणुक्रमांक ______ आहे. An atomic number of Tritium is ______

1)03
2)04
3)02
4)01✓ Correct

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen. All isotopes of an element share the same atomic number, which is 1 for hydrogen (Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium all have atomic number 1).

हायड्रोजनचे समस्थानिके आणि त्यांचे अनुक्रमे वस्तुमान गुणोत्तर ________ आहे. The isotopes of hydrogen and their respective mass ratio are ________.

1)(1) ड्युटेरियम, प्रोटियम, ट्रिटियम; 1 : 2 : 3 (1) Deuterium, Protium, Tritium; 1 : 2 : 3
2)(2) ट्रिटियम, ड्युटेरियम, प्रोटियम; 2 : 3 : 1 (2) Tritium, Deuterium, Protium; 2 : 3 : 1
3)(3) ट्रिटियम, प्रोटियम, ड्युटेरियम; 2 : 3 : 1 (3) Tritium, Protium, Deuterium; 2 : 3 : 1
4)(4) प्रोटियम, ड्युटेरियम, ट्रिटियम; 1 : 2 : 3 (4) Protium, Deuterium, Tritium; 1 : 2 : 3✓ Correct

The isotopes of hydrogen are Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium, with mass numbers 1, 2, and 3 respectively, giving a mass ratio of 1 : 2 : 3.

(a)प्रोटीयम / Protium

(b)ड्युटेरिअम / Deuterium

(c)ट्रिटीअम / Tritium

(d)वरीलपैकी काहीही नाही / None of the above

1)फक्त (c) / Only (c)
2)फक्त (b) / Only (b)✓ Correct
3)फक्त (d) / Only (d)
4)फक्त (a) आणि (c) / Only (a) and (c)

Deuterium (²H or D), an isotope of hydrogen containing one proton and one neutron, is commonly known as heavy hydrogen and is used to produce heavy water (D₂O).
