All isotopes of hydrogen have what in common?

A) Atomic size
B) Molecular formula
C) Atomic mass
D) The atomic number

Isotopes

Variants of a particular chemical element that differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number, but have the same number of protons in their nuclei.

Atomic Number

The number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table.

Hydrogen

The lightest and most abundant chemical element in the universe, consisting of just one proton and often one electron.

  • Familiarize oneself with the construction of an atom, with a focus on protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • Identify the relationship linking the atomic number (Z), mass number, and the composition of various isotopes.
