What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the isotope tritium?
Tritium. What did you think it was?
What is the oxide of tritium?
The oxide of tritium is called tritium oxide or sometimes referred to as tritiated water. It is a radioactive form of water where one or more of the hydrogen atoms in water has been replaced by tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
What color is tritium?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
Why tritium is most stable?
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
What is the mass number of Tritium?
The mass number of Tritium is 3, however actual mass is 3.017005 AMU.
How long will tritium last?
The half-life of tritium is about 12.3 years, meaning it takes that much time for half of the tritium to decay. However, tritium can persist in the environment for a longer time due to its constant formation in the upper atmosphere and mixing in with water sources.
How do you calculate the mass of tritium?
Tritium has two neutrons and one proton: the mass is 3 amu.
Tritium is a form of what element?
Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Hence its other name, hydrogen-3.
Which is heavy either Duterium or Tritium?
Tritium is heavier than deuterium. Tritium consists of one proton and two neutrons, while deuterium consists of one proton and one neutron. Because tritium has an extra neutron, it is heavier than deuterium.
Why deuterium is the heaviest than tritium?
Deuterium is heavier than tritium because deuterium is made up of one proton and one neutron, while tritium has one proton and two neutrons. Tritium is lighter because it contains fewer nucleons than deuterium.
How is Tritium formed in the atmosphere of the earth?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen and is extremely rare. It has two neutrons in the nucleus, whereas hydrogen most commonly has none. Tritium can be formed in Earth's atmosphere by the action of cosmic rays on atoms of nitrogen.
