Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen whose nucleus triton contains \(2\) neutrons and \(1\) proton. Free neutrons decay into\(p+e^{-1}+\nu^{-1}.\) If one of the neutrons in Triton decays, it would transform into \(\mathrm{He}^{3}\) nucleus. This does not happen. This is because:
| 1. | triton energy is less than that of a \(\mathrm{He}^{3}\) nucleus. |
| 2. | the electron created in the beta decay process cannot remain in the nucleus. |
| 3. | both the neutrons in Triton have to decay simultaneously resulting in a nucleus with \(3\) protons, which is not a \(\mathrm{He}^{3}.\) nucleus. |
| 4. | free neutrons decay due to external perturbations which is absent in the Triton nucleus. |
