Deuterium is a natural isotope of hydrogen with the mass 2; deuterium has 1 proton, 1 neutron and 1 electron. The chemical symbol is D.
No. Deuterium is not an element in and of itself. It is an isotope of hydrogen.
An isotope of Hydrogen Apex:)
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.
It is also known as heavy hydrogen. Its nucleus is called a deuteron. The relative isotopic mass of the element is 2.01410178 u. Its a stable element and has a natural abundance of 0.015%.
The element is hydrogen. The easiest reaction to produce on earth (though still very difficult) is between deuterium and tritium. Deuterium is hydrogen with one proton and one neutron, tritium has one proton and two neutrons. Deuterium (heavy water) can be separated from ordinary water whilst tritium has to be made from lithium in a nuclear reactor, and it is radioactive with a half life of 12 years so it does not occur in nature.
No. Deuterium is not an element in and of itself. It is an isotope of hydrogen.
There is no ELEMENT with the symbol "DO" however, it would be the molecule which is one atom of deuterium (D) and one atom of oxygen (O). Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. This molecule would be called deuterium oxide.

Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Helium is and entirely different element.
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.
