Deuterium (D) is an isotope of hydrogen consisting of 1 neutron and 1 proton. Oxygen (O) has 8 neutrons and 8 protons in its most abundant isotope, 16O (99.7% of all oxygen). Therefore, D2O has 10 neutrons and 10 protons per molecule, 99.7% of the time.

D2O is a molecule and NOT an atom therefore it can NOT have an atomic weight.

The molar mass of D2O is 20.0276 g mol−1

What type of information does the atomic number provide?

The total number of protons and neutrons in an atoms nucleus. The proton number on the other hand states just the number of protons in an atoms nucleus, hence the atomic number take away the proton number equals the number of neutrons in an atoms nucleus.


Do atoms have different amounts of protons neutrons and electrons?

An atom is comprised of a nucleus of protons and neutrons, and layers of 'shells' in which the electrons revolve around the nucleus. An element is defined by the number of protons in the nucleus while the number of electrons on the outer shell define an atoms group on the periodic table. Then the number of neutrons is added to the number of protons to define the atomic weight of the atom.
