Title: deuterium and tritium compound
Post by: umut on January 12, 2021, 04:36:12 AM
Can H2 consist of 1 deuterium and 1 tritium? if yes, How?
I think no but H2 can consist 1 det and 1 tiritium according to the my test book

By having a deuterium atom bound to a tritium atom. Why do you think it can't?

They have different spins and tritium is radioactive but deuterium not
I think these will prevent to reaction.

If there is HDO (semiheavy water), why can't there be e.g. DTO (tritiated heavy water), DT, HT, or HD?

You can always try for chiral methanol:

C(O)([2H])([H])[3H]

Thank's to AWK: for helping me with the SMILES notation
