hydrogen can form 3 isotopes.

2006-12-23 20:11:00 · answer #1 · answered by ibrar 4 · 2 11

Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; the different possible versions of each element are called isotopes.

For example, the most common isotope of hydrogen has no neutrons at all; there's also a hydrogen isotope called deuterium, with one neutron, and another, tritium, with two neutrons.
and now question is that
How many isotopes can one element have?
that my answer is
No; there are "preferred" combinations of neutrons and protons, at which the forces holding nuclei together seem to balance best. Light elements tend to have about as many neutrons as protons; heavy elements apparently need more neutrons than protons in order to stick together. Atoms with a few too many neutrons, or not quite enough, can sometimes exist for a while, but they're unstable.


The three forms of hydrogen each have one electron, and thus the same ... In many circumstances isotopes are more effective and safer than surgery

Hydrogen can form three isotopes. they have 0, 1 and 2 neutrons in their nucleus respectively.

Isotopes=Those atoms of an elements that have same number of PROTONES but have different number of NEUTRONS are called ISOTOPES of that element.
Hydrogen has 3 isotopes
1) Protium, (Proton=1, Neutron=0)
2) Deutrium, (Proton=1, Neutron=1)
3) Tritium, (Proton=1, Neutron=2)
their atomic no are same but differ in mass no...
tritium is radio active and deutrium is most widely used for industrial purpose

Hydrogen has two stable isotopes, often called Hydrogen (atomic mass = 1) and Deuterium (atomic mass = 2). The most common radioactive isotope is called Tritium (atomic mass = 3, half-life = 12.32 years).

In all Hydrogen (element atomic number 1) has 7 isotopes. See the second site below:

Isotopes=Those atoms of an elements that have same number of PROTONES but have different number of NEUTRONS are called ISOTOPES of that element.
So Hydrogen have three isotopes
1) Protium, (Protone=1, Neutrone=0)
2) Deutrium, (Protone=1, Neutrone=1)
3) Tritium, (Protone=1, Neutrone=2)
We can also say that atoms of an element that have same ATOMIC NUMBER(number of protons) but different ATOMIC MASS ( number of neutrons+number of protons).

Hydrogen (H) (time-honored atomic mass: a million.00794(7) u) has 3 needless to say going on isotopes, denoted 1H, 2H, and 3H. different, pretty risky nuclei (4H to 7H) have been synthesized interior the laboratory yet no longer referred to in nature. 1H : protium = contains in straightforward terms a single proton 2H : deuterium = contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. 3H : tritium = one proton and a couple of neutrons in its nucleus as a result, a hydrogen atom which includes 2 neutrons(3H) is an isotope of hydrogen. wish this enables:-)

Isotopes

[edit] Hydrogen-1 (protium)
For more details on this topic, see Hydrogen atom.

[edit] Hydrogen-2 (deuterium)
For more details on this topic, see Deuterium.

[edit] Hydrogen-3 (tritium)
For more details on this topic, see Tritium.

[edit] Hydrogen-4 (tetranium/quadium)
For more details on this topic, see Hydrogen-4.
Hydrogen-4 is highly unstable. The nucleus consists of a proton and three neutrons. It has been synthesised in the laboratory by bombarding tritium with fast-moving deuterium nuclei. In this experiment, the tritium nuclei captured neutrons from the fast-moving deuterium nucleus. The presence of the hydrogen-4 was deduced by detecting the emitted protons. It decays through neutron emission and has a half-life of 1.4×10−22 seconds.


[edit] Hydrogen-5 (pentium)
For more details on this topic, see Hydrogen-5.
Hydrogen-5 is highly unstable. The nucleus consists of a proton and four neutrons. It has been synthesised in the laboratory by bombarding tritium with fast-moving tritium nuclei. In this experiment, the one tritium nucleus captures two neutrons from the other, becoming a nucleus with one proton and four neutrons. The remaining proton may be detected, and the existence of hydrogen-5 deduced. It decays through double neutron emission and has a half-life of perhaps 10−21 seconds (sources vary).


[edit] Hydrogen-6 (hexium)
Hydrogen-6 decays through triple neutron emission and has a half-life of 3×10−22 seconds.


[edit] Hydrogen-7 (septium)
Hydrogen-7 consists of a proton and six neutrons. It was first synthesised in 2003 by a group of Russian, Japanese and French scientists at RIKEN's RI Beam Science Laboratory by bombarding hydrogen with helium-8 atoms. In the resulting reaction, the helium-8's neutrons were donated to the hydrogen's nucleus. The two remaining protons were detected by the "RIKEN telescope", a device composed of several layers of sensors, positioned behind the target of the RI Beam cyclotron.
