99.985% of hydrogen atoms have only one proton. What is that called?
(A) Helium
(B) Protium
(C) Electron
(D) None of these
The most abundant isotope, protium (1H), or light hydrogen, has no neutrons and only one proton and one electron. Protium is stable and makes up 99.985% of naturally occurring hydrogen atoms. The nucleus of deuterium (2H) contains one neutron and one proton.
What does the Lewis symbol represent?
(A) Valence electrons in an atom
(B) Standard melting point
(C) Distance between atomic nuclei
(D) Standard Qbthnak
Lewis symbols are simplified Bohr diagrams that represent only the electrons in the outermost energy level. The released electrons are in filled energy levels, which do not contribute to the chemical properties of the respective species. Therefore Lewis symbols are useful to study elemental properties and reactions.
