  • tritium is a radioactive form of hydrogen, used in research, fusion reactors and neutron generators.
  • hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier and can be used as an integrated energy system for heat and electric energy production and as a chemical.
  • both tritium and hydrogen are similar in that the nucleus of each of the tritium atom and the hydrogen atom has only one proton
  • they are different in that tritium nucleus has one proton + 2 neutrons however the hydrogen nucleus has only one proton and no neutrons

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.


Difference between deuterium and tritium?

Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron, while tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons. Deuterium is commonly used in heavy water reactors, while tritium is used in nuclear weapons and experimental fusion reactors.

Tritium is the only radioactive form of hydrogen. It is a hydrogen isotope with two neutrons in its nucleus, making it unstable and radioactive.


Do deuterium and tritium participate in formation of hydrogen chloride gas?

No, deuterium and tritium do not participate in the formation of hydrogen chloride gas. Hydrogen chloride gas is formed when hydrogen and chlorine elements react together. Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen and do not play a role in this specific chemical reaction.
