 Helium-3 description & physical constants

Gas description

      Helium-3 is a stable and lighter isotope of natural helium. It is an inert, nontoxic and nonflammable gas. It is colorless,
      tasteless and ordorless.

      Helium-3 is obtained from transformation of tritium 3H into 3He after ß (beta) emission.
