Question 5

Radioactive elements emit $α, β a n d γ$ rays and are chacterised by their half-lives. The radioactive isotope of hydrogen is

(a) protium (b) deuterium (c) tritium (d) hydronium

Solution

(c)

The radioactive isotope of hydrogen is tritium. For tritium (n=3, p=1), therefore n/p ratio is 3.
