  1. A Tritium is radioactive and emits low energy \(\gamma\)-rays
  2. B \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)does not exist freely
  3. C Tritium is about one atom per \(10^8\) atoms of protium
  4. D Hydrogen is very reactive compared to halogen
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)does not exist freely

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Tritium is radioactive and emits low-energy beta-particles. \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\)does not exist freely but as \(\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}\)ion. Tritium is about 1 atom per \(10^{18}\) atoms of protium. Hydrogen is less reactive than halogen which are good oxidizing agents. Thus,…
