Question

Tritium formation as ${}_7{N}^{14}+{}_o{n}^1\to 6C^{12}{+}_1{T}^3$ occurs in nature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

It is true that Tritium formation occurs in nature as

${}_7{N}^{14}{+}_0{C}^1{⟶}_6{C}^{12}{+}_1{T}^3$

The fast-moving neutron reacts with the nitrogen present in the atmosphere to produce tritium, the radioactive isotope of hydrogen.
