The oxide of tritium is tritium oxide, sometimes called super heavy water, or 3H2O.
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.
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.
Tritium is 3H, so it has one proton, one electron (in the non-ionized state) and two neutrons.
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.
A chemical element with a mass number of 3 is tritium, which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Tritium has two neutrons in its nucleus in addition to its lone proton.
Tritium. What did you think it was?
Generally, tritium is commercially produced by neutron activation of Lithium-6 in a nuclear reactor. Particularly high neutron energies are not required for this reaction to take place. It can also be a byproduct of heavy water reactors, as neutrons can be captured by the deuterons in the heavy water.
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
There are several ways to store tritium. It can be stored as a gas for short term storage (as in nuclear weapons -- the gas in the tritium reservoir needs to be replenished periodically; or tritium illumination for watches or survival gear -- these wear out and go dim over time.). For longer term and final storage, a hydride storage vessel using a uranium metal bed, or better yet, a titanium sponge can be used. Most of the gas can be recovered from these systems by desorption under vacuum. To remove the rest, isotopic exchange is required.
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
Tritium decay to helium-3.
The mass number of Tritium is 3, however actual mass is 3.017005 AMU.
Tritium has two neutrons and one proton: the mass is 3 amu.
Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Hence its other name, hydrogen-3.
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.
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.
