Best Answer

they are the isotopes of hydrogen.

1) hydrogen: proton=1 electron=1 neutron=0

2) deutrium: P=1 E=1 N=1

3) trituim: P=1 E=1 N=2

For info tritruim is the only one that has radiation (LIGHT)

Deuterium, D: isotope of hydrogen with 1 proton and 1 neutron. Tritium,T: isotope of hydrogen with 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Tritium is radioactive and dangerous.

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.
