SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 6 Nov 2020 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q35

Which of the following is NOT an isotope of hydrogen?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1  i.e. Lithium

Hydrogen has three naturally occurring isotopes: Protium (¹H), Deuterium (²H or D), and Tritium (³H or T). These isotopes differ in the number of neutrons they contain. Lithium, on the other hand, is a completely different element with atomic number 3, and is not an isotope of hydrogen.
