Solution

The correct option is B

2


The explanation for the correct option:

Option B

  • Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons.
  • Isotopes are elements with the same atomic number but distinct mass numbers
  • Because the atomic number equals the number of protons and the atomic mass equals the sum of protons and neutrons.
  • There are three isotopes of Hydrogen, Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium.
  • They have the same protons but differ in neutrons.
  • In Protium there are zero neutrons, Deuterium has 1 neutron and Tritium has 2 neutrons.

Hence Option B(2) is a correct Option.
