What is the major difference between isotopes?

Different numbers of neutrons, e.g. deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.


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 the differences between tritium and deuterium in terms of their properties and applications?

Tritium and deuterium are isotopes of hydrogen with different numbers of neutrons. Tritium is radioactive and emits low-energy beta particles, while deuterium is stable. Tritium is used in self-luminous devices like exit signs, while deuterium is used in nuclear reactors for fuel and as a tracer in chemical reactions.


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.


Which is heavy either Duterium or Tritium?

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.


Is deuterium radioactive?

No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.


Why deuterium is the heaviest than tritium?

Deuterium is heavier than tritium because deuterium is made up of one proton and one neutron, while tritium has one proton and two neutrons. Tritium is lighter because it contains fewer nucleons than deuterium.


What are deuterium and tritium examle of?

isotopes


Istopes of hydrogen?

deuterium and tritium.


Is tritium heavier or lighter that deuterium?

Tritium is lighter than deuterium. Tritium is a hydrogen isotope with one proton and two neutrons, making it heavier than regular hydrogen but lighter than deuterium, which has one proton and one neutron.
