The isotopes of hydrogen are :

ATritium and protium only
BDeuterium and tritium only
CProtium and deuterum only
DProtium, deuterium and tritium
Correct Answer

Solution

Hydrogen has three naturally occurring isotopes: $$^1H$$ (protium), $$^2H$$ (deuterium), and $$^3H$$ (tritium). These isotopes form naturally in nature. Protium and deuterium are stable. Tritium is radioactive and has a half-life of about 12 years. Hence, option D is correct.
