<u>Answer:</u> The isotopic representation of tritium atom is _1^3\textrm{H}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species which have same atomic number but differ in mass number.

Hydrogen has 3 isotopes that occur naturally. They are: H-1 (protium), H-2 (deuterium) and H-3 (tritium)

The isotopic representation of an atom is: _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

We know that:

Mass number of H-3 isotope = 3

Atomic number of H-3 isotope = 1

Hence, the isotopic representation of tritium atom is _1^3\textrm{H}

Answer:

₁H³

Explanation:

Tritium is the isotope of hydrogen.

It consist of one proton two neutron and one electron.

It is rare isotope of hydrogen.

It is radioactive.

Its mass is  3.0160492 u.

In atmosphere it is also present in trace amount.

Its decay product is He³.

₁H³  →  ³He₂⁺¹ +  e⁻

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga >  IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga  becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.

Another carbon isotope has six protons and seven neutrons in its nucleus. What do you think this carbon isotope is called?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Carbon - 13

Explanation:

For most of the elements other than that of hydrogen, the isotopes are named for the mass number.

Example : Carbon atoms with 6 neutrons have mass number of 12 ( as 6\ protons +6\ neutrons=12 ), so they are known as carbon-12.

Given that:

Protons = 6

Neutrons = 7

Mass = 6 + 7 = 13

So the name is Carbon - 13 . The symbol is ^{13}_{6}C

What is the difference between an atom and an element?
Travka [436]

Answer:

A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom

Explanation:

so In simple terms an atom contains Protons and Electrons and can be found in an Element, but an element comprises of atoms which come together to form up that particular Element
