    Deuterium nucleus contains:

    A)  1 proton 1 electron

    B)  1 proton 1 neutron

    C)  2 proton 1 electron

    D)  1 proton 2 electron

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Deuterium is heavy isotope of hydrogen \[{{(}_{1}}{{H}^{2}})\]
    Isotopes Number of proton Number of Number of
    neutron electron
    Protium \[{{(}_{1}}{{H}^{1}})\] 1 0 1
    Deuterium \[_{1}{{H}^{2}}\] 1 1 1
    Tritium \[_{1}{{H}^{3}}\] 1 2 1
    Note: Protium is the only element in the whole periodic table which does not contain a neutron. \[\therefore \] Nucleus of deuterium contains one proton and one neutron.
