The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in tritium isotope is 1,2, and 1 respectively.
The tritium atom has 1 proton in its nucleus with 2 neutrons. It has one electron revolving in its K shell. So, the atomic number of T is 1 and the atomic mass of T is 3 (1 proton + 2 neutrons). Tritium is used as a tracer in biomedical and academic research. It is also used as fuel for thermonuclear weapons by some countries.
