| heavy water |
A molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Most water comprises of hydrogen/oxygen but a small percentage is composed of another hydrogen isotope, deuterium and oxygen. Deuterium differs from hydrogen by having one neutron in the nucleus of each atom. Deuterium water is given the formula D 2 O. There is approx. 1 part in 5000 D 2 O in normal water and it can be concentrated by electrolysis. D 2 O had a higher boiling point (101.4
