What is the half-life of Tritium?

Answer 1

The half-life is the time that it will take for half of the atoms in a sample of a radioactive isotope to decay into another element or isotope. This is a constant property of the isotope and does not depend on the sample size.

Answer 2

AnswerHydrogen is not radioactive. Therefore it does not change into other elements over time (decaying). Therefore it has no half-life. AnswerHydrogen is an element that occurs in nature in three isotopes. Hydrogen-1, 1H, which is also called protium, accounts for about 99.985% of all hydrogen on Earth. Hydrogen-2, 2H, which is also called deuterium, is about 0.015% of the hydrogen on Earth. There are traces of 3H, or trProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 ium, which is produced by cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere, and has a half life of 12.32 years. Tritium is also produced synthetically, and has a number of uses.

There are other isotopes of hydrogen, but they are all synthetic and very unstable; their half lives are all less than 10-21 seconds, so, for practical purposes, they can be thought of as not existing except in a laboratory, and then only for an instant.

AnswerHydrogen is the smallest possible element ans therefore can only decay into particles. My guess is that Hydrogen eventually decays into individual electrons protons and neutrons via radioactive decay.

Answer 3

The half life of an isotope refers to the rate at which a radioactive isotope undergoes radioactive decay. Specifically, it is the amount of time it takes for half of a given sample of a radioactive isotope to decay.

Answer 4

The atomic half-life of a substance - is the amount of time it takes for half the weight of a known sample to decay to an inert substance. Some radioactive elements have a relatively short half-life (less than a day). However - refined uranium has a half-life of hundreds of years !

Answer 5

The half-life of Tritium is approximately 12.3 years. This means that it takes about 12.3 years for half of a given amount of Tritium to decay into Helium-3.

Answer 6

Deuterium is stable and so does not have a half-life.

Answer 7

12.3 years is the half life of the isotope tritium.

Answer 8

The half-life of tritium is 12.32 years (12 years 3 months and 26-ish days).

Answer 9

The time it takes for half of the amount of a given sample of the isotope to decay.

Answer 10

Deuterium is stable
