Spins of protons differ in para and ortho hydrogen <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/f97dfb1ce7e1c69d179063abcbb3a83f-.png" /> (Parallel nuclears spins) total nuclear spin = +(1/2)+(+(1/2))=1 (Anti-Parallel nuclear Spins) Total nuclear spin = +(1/2)+(-(1/2))=0

Q. Para and ortho hydrogen differ in:

Atomic number

Atomic mass

Spins of protons

Number of neutrons

Spins of protons differ in para and ortho hydrogen

(Parallel nuclears spins)
total nuclear spin =
$+ \frac{1}{2} + (+ \frac{1}{2}) = 1$
(Anti-Parallel nuclear Spins)
Total nuclear spin =
$+ \frac{1}{2} + (- \frac{1}{2}) = 0$

Q. Para and ortho hydrogen differ in:

Atomic number

Atomic mass

Spins of protons

Number of neutrons

Spins of protons differ in para and ortho hydrogen (Parallel nuclears spins) total nuclear spin = +21​+(+21​)=1 (Anti-Parallel nuclear Spins) Total nuclear spin = +21​+(−21​)=0

Spins of protons differ in para and ortho hydrogen

(Parallel nuclears spins)
total nuclear spin =
$+ \frac{1}{2} + (+ \frac{1}{2}) = 1$
(Anti-Parallel nuclear Spins)
Total nuclear spin =
$+ \frac{1}{2} + (- \frac{1}{2}) = 0$
