Hydrogen has three isotopes, all with one proton (atomic number 1) but differing in the number of neutrons:
-
Protium (1H1): 1 proton, 0 neutrons; mass number 1. It is ordinary hydrogen and by far the most abundant.
-
Deuterium (2H1, symbol D): 1 proton, 1 neutron; mass number 2. Also called heavy hydrogen; occurs in heavy water (D2O).
-
Tritium (3H1, symbol T): 1 proton, 2 neutrons; mass number 3. It is radioactive and present only in traces.
Ratio of masses: …
