Difference between deuterium and tritium?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has 1 neutron (an ordinary hydrogen atom has none). A nucleus of tritium has 2 neutrons.
What are Deuterium and tritium when they are put together?
Isotopes of Hydrogen
What is a non metallic cation?
hydrogen Hydron, tritium, deuterium
What are the functions of the deuterium and tritium atoms in nuclear reactors?
All current nuclear reactors are fission reactors, tritium has no function in a fission reactor, in standard water moderated reactors deuterium also has no function, in heavy water moderated reactors deuterium is the moderator. If we are ever able to make a fusion reactor, deuterium/tritium mix will be used as fuel.
Who discovered deuterium and tritium and when?
Deuterium was discovered in 1932 by Harold Urey.Tritium was discovered in 1934 by Rutherford, Oliphant and Harteck.
Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.

Is Duterium heavy than Tririum?
Protium, deuterium, and tritium are all isotopes of hydrogen (H). As far as their masses: Tritium>Deuterium>Protium In their nuclei: Protium has 1 proton and 0 neutrons Deuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutron Tritium has 1 proton and 2 neutrons So yes, Deuterium is heavier than tritium.
