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.


What hydrogen isotope is used by a heavy water reactor?

hi, currently fusion reactors fuse the two lighter isotopes of hydrogen (protium and deuterium) into its heavier isotope tritium


Is deuterium radioactive?

No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.


What is the fuel source for fusion?

Hydrogen in stars. Man made attempts use the heavier isotopes of Hydrogen (Deuterium, Tritium) and sometimes Lithium.

Deuterium and tritium are both?

The difference between deuterium and tritium is one neutron. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron, 12H, while tritium has one proton and two neutrons, 13H.


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 is heavy water in soda?

Deuterium Oxide. Heavy water is water formed using higher proportions of deuterium and tritium, unstable and heavier isotopes of hydrogen, for ease of storage of those particles before use in nuclear reactions.it is water


What are the ingredients of hydrogen water?

Water - There are three known Hydrogen variants of water. To understand this you have to realize that there are Three kinds of hydrogen: Hydrogen, Deuterium and Tritium. Each of these behave almost exactly like Hydrogen. They differ only on the nuclear level. Deuterium is heavier than Hydrogen and Tritium is heavier than Deuterium. Normal or common water (H2O)is composed of one Oxygen atom and two Hydrogen atoms. This is what you call hydrogen water. Heavy water or Deuterium Oxide (D2O) is the second of the three variants. Super heavy water, Tritiated water or Tritium Oxide (T20) is the third variant. It is radioactive and is incredibly rare. Natural drinking water is primarily Hydrogen based with a very small concentration of Deuterium based water.
