Best Answer

A neutron in the nucleus of the tritium atom decays into a proton and an electron and an antielectron neutrino. The proton remains in the nucleus causing the atomic number to increase by 1 as the atom becomes that of a different element while mass number remains the same, He3. The electron and antielectron neutrino are emitted from the nucleus.

3H -> 3He + e-+ ν-e + 18.6keV

Tritium decays into helium-3 by beta emission, releasing 18.6keV of energy and an electron antineutrino.

What is a beta emitter?

In physics, an alpha emitter is a radioactive substance which decays by emitting alpha particles.


Why is tritium continuously monitored in hospitals or any other radiation usage facility?

Tritium is a low energy beta emitter, so it cannot hurt you externally, its beta particles are unable to penetrate the skin. However it is a radiation hazard when inhaled, eaten via food or water, or somehow absorbed through the skin.


Why positron emitter is more than beta emitter in medium nuclie?

Because there is more energy available, and beta+ decay requires an energy contribution, as opposed to beta-.


Which radioisotope is a beta emitter?

90-Sr is the answer.


What is a soft beta particle?

Low energy beta particles, say, from tritium, are called soft beta particles.


How does using a transistor with a different beta affect the operation of the common emitter amplifier?

Gain, in the common emitter amplifier, is beta (hFe) or collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, whichever is less. Substituting a different beta (hFe) transistor will affect gain, if hFe is less, or increase stability and design margin, if hFe is greater.


What are the names of the of the unstable hydrogen isotopes?

The only UN-stable Hydrogen isotope is Tritium, atomic number 1 (of coarse!), mass number 3, with 2 neutrons in nucleus, beta- electron emitter, (max.) 0.018 MeV, half-time 12.3 yr.


What does Trituium decay to?

Tritium (3H) decays into 3He via beta decay.


What is tritium emits?

Tritium decays by beta decay (emits high energy electron converting one neutron to a proton) resulting in Helium-3.


How you differentiate base bias and emitter bias?

On the emitter there is base current which is basically a function of Beta and only at that particular current. Unfortunately the beta factor is a non linear function and it is strictly related to collector current


When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?

Helium


Can positions of emitter and collector can be interchanged?

No, Beta plummets dramatically. Operation would be severely degraded.
