The Atomic Mass (that's the proper term) of deuterium (you spelled it incorrectly) is less than that of 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.


How tritium is formed in a presurized heavy water reactor?

Tritium is formed by the capture of neutrons by deuterium (heavy hydrogen) which is in the heavy water in the moderator and coolant.

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 It is a radioactive form of water where one or more of the hydrogen atoms in water has been replaced by tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.


Why is water containing tritium called heavy water?

No, heavy water contains deuterium not tritium. Water containing tritium is very expensive and radioactive. Heavy water is not radioactive.add. Tritiated material is used in some of the 'permanently' glowing markings on watches. This is no radiation hazard as long as it is not ingested.Didn't say there was a radiation hazard, just that it is radioactive. Big difference.


How do you make tritium?

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.


An isotope differs from regular atoms of an element by having a different number of?

Neutrons. As an example, hydrogen has three isotopes, Hydrogen, Duterium and Tritium. Hydrogen atoms consist of one proton and one electron. Duterium atoms consist of one proton, one electron and one neutron. Tritium atoms consist of one proton, one electron and two neutrons.


Which element on the periodic table is the first to have neutrons?

Hydrogen (duterium).


How many neutrons does the element H have?

It depends on the isotope. Ordinary hydrogen has no neutrons at all. However, deuterium is hydrogen with one neutron, and tritium is hydrogen with two neutrons. Deuterium is about twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen, and tritium is three times as heavy, so hydrogen compounds in which some of the hydrogen is one or both of these heavier isotopes is correspondingly heavy. An example is heavy water. Normally, in formulas, the letters D and T are used instead of H to indicate deuterium and tritium. So, H has no neutrons.


What is the name of the isotope tritium?

Tritium. What did you think it was?


How many years would it take for 3.0 kg tritium to decay to 0.75 kg tritium?

In ordinary water, exactly 0 atoms as Tritium decays too rapidly (halflife 12.26 years) for any that was on earth when it formed (billions of years ago) to remain. In contaminated water, either deliberately or accidentally, it would depend on how much contaminate was added and the tritium concentration in it. Tritium can only be manufactured somewhere there is a high neutron flux (e.g., nuclear reactor or bomb, a star).


What color is tritium?

Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
