Answer: Tritium is having one proton and two neutrons. Its atomic number is 1 and the mass number is 3.
Explanation:
It is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus and that has three times the mass of ordinary hydrogen. symbol T.
Tritium (abbreviated as 3H) is a hydrogen atom that has two neutrons in its nucleus and one proton.Tritium is also produced in the detonation of nuclear weapons and as a byproduct in nuclear reactors. Just as non-radioactive hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water (H2O), tritium also reacts with oxygen to form "tritiated water" (HTO).
