Hydrogen possesses three isotopes, but tritium (3H), which is radioactive, occurs as less than 1 in 10 atoms in a sample of natural hydrogen. If the value of Ar for hydrogen is 1.008, estimate the percentage 1 2 abundance of protium, 1H, and deuterium, 2H (or D) present in a sample of natural hydrogen. Point out any assumptions that you make. Explain why your answers are not the same as those quoted in Appendix 5.
