Ortho and para hydrogen:

Question

Ortho and para hydrogen: (A) have different masses (B) have different atomic number (C) differ in the spin of their nuclei (D) differ in the spin of their electrons

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Ortho and para hydrogen differ in the spin of nuclei. In ortho hydrogen, both hydrogen atom have spin of proton in same direction while in para-hydrogen, they have spin in opposite direction.
