Tritium, n., A radioactive isotope of hydrogen having an atomic mass of 3.017 and a nucleus composed of 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its halflife is 12.26 years and it decays by beta decay to Helium-3. Tritium is normally only produced synthetically on earth by placing sealed pellets of Lithium in the neutron flux of a nuclear reactor.

∙ 12y agoTritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, in which the nuclei of its atoms contain 1 proton and 2 neutrons. The vast majority of hydrogen atoms have 1 proton and 0 neutrons, and are called protium. Another hydrogen isotope is deuterium, and its nuclei contain 1 proton and 1 neutron.

What is a complete sentence for the word isotope?
Hydrogen atom have three isotope which is hydrogen , deuterium , and tritium.
What similarities and differences are there between Tritium and ordinary hydrogen?
tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen, used in research, fusion reactors and neutron generators.hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier and can be used as an integrated energy system for heat and electric energy production and as a chemical.both tritium and hydrogen are similar in that the nucleus of each of the tritium atom and the hydrogen atom has only one protonthey are different in that tritium nucleus has one proton + 2 neutrons however the hydrogen nucleus has only one proton and no neutrons
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.
An atom of tritium an isotope of hydrogen has 1 proton 2 neutrons and 1 electron What is its mass in amu?
Three
How do isotopes hydrogen 2 and hydrogen 3 differ?
Hydrogen isotopes. 1) Protium (H-1) has 1 proton and one electron 2)Deuterium (H-2) Has one proton, one electron and 1 neutron. 3)Tritium (H-3) has 1 proton, one electron and 2 neutrons
What is a complete sentence for the word isotope?
Hydrogen atom have three isotope which is hydrogen , deuterium , and tritium.
Is hydrogen a compound or a mixture?
Hydrogen can be an atom (H1), a molecule (H2 or normal hydrogen), an isotope such as deuterium or tritium. Ionized Hydrogen is simply a proton.
What similarities and differences are there between Tritium and ordinary hydrogen?

What are the isotopes of hydrogen atom?
Normal hydrogen (atomic weight 1), deuterium (2), and tritium (3).
If a hydrogen atom has 2 neutrons is it an isotope?
No <-- Ignore this bullsh*t. The normal hydrogen has no neutrons, the alternative forms of hydrogen are those with 1 or 2 neutrons and are called isotopes. For example, nuclear power plants use "heavy water" in cooling. Water is H2O, 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. However, "heavy water" contains an isotope of hydrogen with 1 extra neutron in each hydrogen atom.
If a hydrogen atom has 2 nuetrons is it an isotope?
Yes. There are three isotopes in the Hydrogen family; Hydrogen (no neutrons); Deuterium (one neutron) & Tritium (two neutrons). Tritium is radioactive. It emits beta radiation (electron).
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 the number of neutron in one atom of hydrogen?
Hydrogen does not have any neutrons unless it is the isotope deuterium ( 1 neutron) or tritium (2 neutrons)
How many protons does each atom of tritium (hydrogen-3) have?
All hydrogen atoms, regardless of the number of neutrons in its isotope (zero neutrons for protium, one for deuterium, two for tritium), would have only one proton.
What element's 3 isotopes have different names?
hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium.
Is there a neutron inside of water?
A water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom has several neutrons; the hydrogen atom typically contains none. A small percentage of the hydrogen atoms are deuterium or tritium, which do contain neutrons.
How do isotopes hydrogen 2 and hydrogen 3 differ?
Hydrogen isotopes. 1) Protium (H-1) has 1 proton and one electron 2)Deuterium (H-2) Has one proton, one electron and 1 neutron. 3)Tritium (H-3) has 1 proton, one electron and 2 neutrons
