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.
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 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.
Discoverer of deuterium?
H.Cavendish was the discoverered of hydrogen.
Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.

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.
