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.
Why are deuterium and tritium still hydrogen and not considered two different elements?
The difference between all three is the number of neutrons. Elements are classified by the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of protons never changes between hydrogen, tritium and deuterium.
What are Deuterium and tritium when they are put together?
Isotopes of Hydrogen
What is a non metallic cation?
hydrogen Hydron, tritium, deuterium
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.
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.
What is the difference in mass between a neutral deuterium atom and a neutral tritium atom?
1.6749x10-24
What is the major difference between isotopes?
Different numbers of neutrons, e.g. deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.
Why are deuterium and tritium still hydrogen and not considered two different elements?
The difference between all three is the number of neutrons. Elements are classified by the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of protons never changes between hydrogen, tritium and deuterium.
Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.
What are deuterium and tritium examle of?
isotopes
Istopes of hydrogen?
deuterium and tritium.
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 element is used in a nuclear fusion?
deuterium, and tritium
What are Deuterium and tritium when they are put together?
Isotopes of Hydrogen
What is the difference between hydrogen and deuterium lamp for UV?
Hydrogen and deuterium lamps for UV vary in the gases that are utilized in the discharge.. Deuterium lamps also generate a higher intensity radiation compared to hydrogen lamps.
What is the easiest fusion reaction to make?
Deuterium plus tritium
