The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given statements about the isotopes of hydrogen is incorrect, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the isotopes of hydrogen Hydrogen has three isotopes: 1. **Protium (¹H)** - Mass number 1 2. **Deuterium (²H)** - Mass number 2 3. **Tritium (³H)** - Mass number 3 ### Step 2: Understand isotopes Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. This means they have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. ### Step 3: Analyze each option 1. **Option 1: Relative abundance of isotopes** - Protium is the most abundant isotope, followed by Deuterium, and Tritium is the least abundant due to its radioactivity. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 2. **Option 2: Increasing order of density** - Density is directly related to mass. Protium has the least mass, followed by Deuterium, and Tritium has the most mass. - Therefore, the order of increasing density is Protium < Deuterium < Tritium. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 3. **Option 3: Increasing order of boiling point** - The boiling point increases with mass. Thus, the order should be Protium < Deuterium < Tritium. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **correct**. 4. **Option 4: Increasing order of melting point** - Similar to boiling point, the melting point also increases with mass. Therefore, the correct order should be Protium < Deuterium < Tritium. - If the order given is Protium (¹H) has the maximum melting point, it contradicts the relationship between mass and melting point. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. ### Final Answer The incorrect statement is **Option 4**. ---
