Which of the following forms of hydrogen emits low energy β−{\beta}^{-} particles?

Options

  1. ADeuterium H12H 12
  2. BProton H+{H}^{+}
  3. CTritium H13H 13
  4. DProtium H11H 11

Correct answer

C. Tritium H13H 13

Step-by-step solution

Tritium isotope of hydrogen is radioactive and emits low energy β−{\beta}^{-} particles. It is because of high n/pn / p ratio of tritium which makes nucleus unstable.

For tritium \left(H 13\right)</p><p>No.ofneutron(n)=2</p><p>No. of neutron \left(n\right) = 2

No. of proton \left(p\right) = 1</p><p></p><p>\dfrac{n}{p} = 2</p><p></p><p>∵ \dfrac{n}{p}ishigh</p><p>tritiumwilemitis high</p><p>tritium wil emit\beta particle.
