Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen.
Deuterium flouride is an acid
Two.
The mass number of deuterium is 2
The element Hydrogen (H) comes in two other isotopes - Deuterium (D) with another neutron, and radioactive Tritium (T) with yet another. This means the molecules of hydrogen can be H2, HD, HT, D2, DT, T2 and the oxides of hydrogen can be H2O, HDO, HTO, D2O, DTO and T2O as well as the peroxides H2O2, HDO2, HTO2, D2O2, DTO2 and T2O2. None of these could be called deuterium oxide (DO). You could call HDO (or D(OH)) deuterium hydroxide or DO- deutroxide (like HO- is hydroxide)
When oxygen is burned inside of large stars, the principle elements that are formed include: Hydrogen - 1, Deuterium - 2, Helium - 4, Magnesium - 24, Silicon - 28, Silicon - 30, Phosphorous - 30, Phosphorous - 31, Sulfur - 31, Sulfur - 32, as well as free neutrons.
No. Deuterium is not an element in and of itself. It is an isotope of hydrogen.
These elements are hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium), helium, lithium, boron.
The difference between all three is the number of neutrons. Elements are classified by the number of protons in the nucleus. The number of protons never changes between hydrogen, tritium and deuterium.
The existence of nonradioactive isotopes of lighter elements had been suspected in studies of neon as early as 1913, and proven by mass spectroscopy of light elements in 1920.
Big Bang nucleosynthesis produced stable isotopes for:Hydrogen(Deuterium)HeliumLithium
Elements at the extreme ends of the periodic table: high end - uranium, plutonium; low end - hydrogen (deuterium & tritium), lithium.
You are correct! According to our current understanding of the Big Bang theory, the first elements formed were hydrogen, deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and helium.
Ex.: neptunium, deuterium (isotope of H)
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.
Mostly hydrogen (with some helium, deuterium, and lithium). Other elements (all other elements) are added as the date of formation of the protostar comes closer to the current date.
Water is not an element, it is a compound and contains hydrogen and oxygen which are elements. Water has scientific names: dihydrogen oxide, deuterium oxide (horsey water) and ditritium oxide (radioactive water)
