The mass of tritium (T) can be calculated by adding the masses of its constituents. The mass of a proton is approximately 1.0073 amu, the mass of a neutron is approximately 1.0087 amu, and the mass of an electron is negligible. So, the mass of tritium would be approximately 3.016 amu.
they are the isotopes of hydrogen.
1) hydrogen: proton=1 electron=1 neutron=0
2) deutrium: P=1 E=1 N=1
3) trituim: P=1 E=1 N=2
For info tritruim is the only one that has radiation (LIGHT)
Where can tritium light sources be acquired?
Tritium lighting is made using glass tubes with a phosphor layer in them and tritium (a hydrogen isotope) gas inside the tube. Such a tube is known as a "gaseous tritium light source" (GTLS). Because tritium in particular is an integral part of thermonuclear devices (though in quantities several thousand times larger than that in a keychain), devices containing tritium are considered dual-use technology in the U.S.A., and are therefore illegal for export. However, they are widely available in the U.K., most of Europe (some countries like Belgium have outlawed them however), Asia and Australia. Tritium devices can be purchased in the UK and Australia, but are illegal for import to the United States, however they are available in the US as gunsights and for military applications. UK Source

What is the estimated total tritium on earth?
enough...
Unlimited-Tritium, as a form of Hydrogen, is found naturally in air and water. Most hydrogen is made up of one proton, and an orbital electron, but tritium has two extra neutrons in the nucleus. In nature, it is produced by cosmic rays in two source terms: 14N + 1n ---> 3H + 12Cand2H + 2H ---> 3H + 1
Tritium is not normally considered to be naturally occurring. The amounts produced by cosmic rays are trace. To produce it in meaningful amounts you need either a nuclear reactor or bomb. Besides it decays rapidly, in 61.3 years any present now is effectively gone.
How do the isotopes deuterium and tritium different?
All hydrogen atoms of any kind have one proton in the nucleus. The number of neutrons differ for the 3 isotopes.
Regular hydrogen has no neutrons in the nucleus (1H), deuterium has one neutron (2H), and tritium has two neutrons (3H).
What do protium deuterium and tritium have in common?
Protium, deuterium, and tritium are all isotopes of hydrogen, meaning they have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons they contain. Protium is the most common and has one proton with no neutrons, deuterium has one proton and one neutron, and tritium has one proton and two neutrons.
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.
Is the tiberium crystal real or fictional?
its just a fictional element in command and conquesr no such thing/element exists in real life dear..

How nuclear reactor containment spray system works?
A nuclear reactor containment spray system typically consists of a network of pipes and nozzles that spray water or other cooling agents onto the reactor containment structure in the event of an emergency. This helps to remove heat from the reactor and prevent the containment structure from overheating, which can lead to the release of radioactive material. The spray system is designed to provide an additional layer of safety and is activated automatically or manually in response to specific conditions.
I don’t understand the question
How do you calculate the mass of tritium?
Tritium has two neutrons and one proton: the mass is 3 amu.
As tritium gas is a radioisotope of hydrogen is it safe in a watch or keychain?
Yes, tritium gas is considered safe in small amounts typically used in items like watches or keychains. The low-energy beta radiation emitted by tritium poses minimal risk to health, as the radiation does not penetrate the skin. However, it is still recommended to avoid inhaling or ingesting tritium.
What is the mass difference of 3He to Tritium?
The mass difference between Helium-3 (3He) and Tritium (3H) is approximately 2 atomic mass units (amu). This is because Tritium has two neutrons in its nucleus, making it heavier than Helium-3.
What is the resulting nucleus if a tritium and a deuterium nuclei fuse?
Helium and a neutron:
D + T --> He + n + 17.59 MeV
