For the symbol H,D and T tabulate three sub-atomic particles found in each of them.
H, D, and T are the three isotopes of hydrogen with similar nuclear number and distinctive mass quantities of 1, 2 and 3 separately.
Element | Symbol | Number of Electrons | Number of Protons | Number of Neutrons |
Hydrogen | H | 1 | 1 | 0 |
Deuterium | D | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Tritium | T | 1 | 1 | 2 |

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?

In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
