<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:

The number of atoms in the outermost shell  

Explanation:

For example, the electron shells in the alkali metals contain the following numbers of electrons:

 Li: 2, 1

Na: 2, 8, 1

 K: 2, 8, 8, 1

They all have one electron in their outermost shell, and they have similar chemical properties.
