An isotope of helium will be formed.
Each nucleus of helium-3 contains one neutron.
It doesn't matter. You'll still get a hundred on Bharat's test without knowing the answer to this one. PHYS 100 is cake. >.No that's wrong. The result is going to be Helium.
No. hydrogen-3 (tritium) has a nucleus with one proton and two neutrons, and is unstable. Helium-3 has a nucleus with two protons and one neutron, and is stable.
The tritium nucleus consists of one proton and two neutrons. In beta decay, one neutron changes to a proton and an electron (negative beta particle), also a neutrino. So the nucleus then consists of two protons and one neutron, which is He-3.
Helium and a neutron: D + T --> He + n + 17.59 MeV
1 neutron It has in its nucleus 1 neutron and 2 protons so its mass number is 3, hence whay it is called helium-3. (Mass number = # of protons + # of neutrons)
When tritium-3 emits a beta particle, it becomes helium-3. The beta particle is an electron, so when it is emitted, a neutron in the tritium nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in helium-3, which has two protons and one neutron.
The number of protons determines the element. So when neutrons are added, there is no change in the number of protons and helium atom is unchanged.
Helium is a noble gas (group 18 element) and has two valence electrons (stable electronic configuration) and is chemically inert. Oxygen belongs to group 16 with 6 valence electrons and is reactive element.
No, a hydrogen atom does not have a neutron in its nucleus. A hydrogen atom consists of only one proton in its nucleus.
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
