Which one is the least abundant isotope of hydrogen. Mention its two uses. [1+1]
2Answer
The least abundant isotope of hydrogen is tritium (³H).
Uses of Tritium:
- Nuclear Fusion Research: Tritium is used as a fuel in nuclear fusion reactions, particularly in experimental reactors like tokamaks, where it combines with deuterium (²H) to produce helium and release energy.
- Self-Luminous Exit Signs: Tritium is used in self-powered light sources (e.g., exit signs) due to its beta radiation, which excites phosphorescent material to produce a faint glow without electricity.
