    Chemical Behavior in Water
    When incorporated into water, the resulting tritiated species are classified based on substitution: $\text{HTO}$ (Tritium Oxide, replacing one $\text{H}$), $\text{DTO}$ (Deuterium-Tritium Oxide), and $\text{T}_2\text{O}$ (Tritiated Water). The presence of tritium lowers the overall dielectric constant of the water slightly, which causes the water molecules to favor weaker [hydrogen bonding ne…
