Tritium, an isotope of hydrogen contains:
Correct answer: C. Number of neutrons is double than the number of protons
- A. Equal number of electrons and neutrons
- B. Equal number of electrons, protons and neutrons
- C. Number of neutrons is double than the number of protons
- D. Number of neutrons is half than the number of protons
Explanation
Tritium is the isotope of the hydrogen having mass number 3 and proton number 1.Number of neutrons are mass number-number protons which turn out to be 2. So we can say that the number of neutrons is twice the number of protons.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
