Concept explainers
The figure related to Helium atom is to be explained.
Answer to Problem 3STP
C
Explanation of Solution
Helium -3, helium-4 are isotopes of helium atom with same atomic number and different mass number. There are total 9 known isotopes of Helium atom, only Helium-3 and Helium -4 is stable.
Helium -3 atom contains two proton, one neutron,and two electrons.
Helium -4 atom contains two protons, two neutron, and two electrons.
Conclusion: (a), (b),(d) are incorrect, because atomic number is same in both figures.
