Because it only has one proton. The only element on the periodic table with one proton is hydrogen, so deuterium must be a form of hydrogen.

What is made up of a neutron a proton and a surrounding cloud of orbiting electrons?
A hydrogen-2 (deuterium) atom has a proton, a neutron, and ONE orbiting electron.
What does Jupiter have on?
Jupiter's core is made up of rock, metal, and hydrogen compounds.Jupiter's outer core is made up of metallic hydrogen.Jupiter's mantle is made up of liquid hydrogen and helium.Jupiter's cloud tops are made up of hydrogen and helium.Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of 89.8% hydrogen and 10.2% helium with a little bit of methane and ammonia.
How much of Jupiter is made up of hydrogen?
Jupiter is made up of about 90% hydrogen. If it was about 75% larger, it could be another Sun.
What is Neptune atmosphere made of?
Neptune's atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium, and methane.
How can an atom have no charge?
Any proton that is floating around will attract an electron and then it will 'be' hydrogen. To make deuterium (one neutron) you need to slam two hydrogens together hard enough to make them stick (think about pushing the two N ends of magnets together if they had glue on them - if you pushed to lightly they would repel each other and never stick. But if you pushed them hard enough you would get the glue to stick - this is kind of like the nuclear force (glue) and electrostatic force (repulsion)). So basically it is much easier to make Hydrogen than Deuterium - everything pretty much starts out as hydrogen and is then smashed together in suns/super novae etc to make all the other elements. Part of why there is so little Deuterium compared to, say, carbon is that it is easier to combine a deuterium and hydrogen atom to make Helium3 than it is to smash the two protons(H) together to make deuterium in the first place. (Like a bath tub that is being filled more slowly than it is being emptied - there is always a little water (Deuterium) but there will never be very much). On the other hand the processes that make carbon are easier than the processes that use it - so the carbon 'bathtub' fills up and we get a large amount of carbon hanging around the universe.The arrangement of a proton with an orbiting electron is energetically stable without a Neutron.

Where does hydrogen for bomb making come from?
There are 2 isotopes of hydrogen needed to make a hydrogen bomb: deuterium and tritium. Deuterium occurs naturally in small amounts mixed with ordinary hydrogen (just like uranium-235 occurs naturally in small amounts in natural uranium), it is obtained by a heavy water enrichment cascade using ordinary water as the input feed. Tritium does not occur naturally and must be manufactured by irradiating lithium with neutrons. Lithium is mined from the ground. The easiest way to manufacture the tritium for a hydrogen bomb is the in situ processwhere the bomb does it itself. The fuel for such a hydrogen bomb is lithium deuteride, fission generated neutrons irradiate the lithium deuteride, manufacturing tritium which mixes with the deuterium and the bomb is now ready to explode!Using a mixture of deuterium and tritium isotopes of hydrogen in the fusion bomb makes it practical as this mixture has the lowest ignition temperature.So to sum up your answer:deuterium is taken from watertritium is manufactured in the bomb from lithium, which is mined from the ground
