Answer:
There are total 9 quarks in the tritium.
Explanation:
Tritium is actually radioactive isotope of the hydrogen containing three subatomic particle in its nucleus.
While quarks are elementary particles which are combined to form subatomic particles like neutrons and protons.
One tritium contains 2 neutrons and 1 proton.
1 proton =3 quarks
2 neutrons = 2 × 3 quarks = 6 quarks
Total = 3 + 6 = 9 quarks.
Hence total number of quarks in the nucleus of tritium is 9.
