- Tritium - Wikipedia
Tritium (from Ancient Greek τρίτος (trítos) 'third') or hydrogen-3 (symbol T or 3H) is a rare and radioactive isotope of hydrogen with a half-life of 12 32 years
- Radionuclide Basics: Tritium - US EPA
Tritium is a hydrogen atom that has two neutrons in the nucleus and one proton It is radioactive and behaves like other forms of hydrogen in the environment Tritium is produced naturally in the upper atmosphere and as a byproduct of nuclear fission
- Tritium | Radioactive, Hydrogen, Decay | Britannica
Tritium, (T, or 3H), the isotope of hydrogen with atomic weight of approximately 3 Its nucleus, consisting of one proton and two neutrons, has triple the mass of the nucleus of ordinary hydrogen
- What is Tritium? (with pictures) - AllTheScience
Tritium is an isotope of the chemical element hydrogen While a normal hydrogen atom has one proton, a tritium atom has two neutrons and one proton This isotope is radioactive, and will slowly decay over a period of several decades; due to its short half-life, it is not found in nature
- Facts about tritium
Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen It has the same number of protons and electrons as hydrogen but has 2 neutrons, whereas regular hydrogen does not have any This makes tritium unstable and radioactive
