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. What did you think it was?
Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen, so it is colorless.
The mass number of Tritium is 3, however actual mass is 3.017005 AMU.
Tritium is not found naturally in the Earth's crust because it is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen with a half-life of about 12.3 years. This short half-life means that any tritium that may have been present in the Earth's crust would have decayed long ago. Additionally, tritium is primarily produced through nuclear reactions in the atmosphere and in nuclear reactors, further limiting its presence in natural environments.
The atomic number for tritium is 1 because it has one proton in its nucleus.

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 It is a radioactive form of water where one or more of the hydrogen atoms in water has been replaced by tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
Tritium Dont Eat Anything? They Are Type Of Watches.... :)
Tritium is not the most stable isotope known.
Tritium decay to helium-3.

Tritium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Hence its other name, hydrogen-3.
Tritium has two neutrons and one proton: the mass is 3 amu.
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.
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.
