Having only one proton deuterium has the atomic number 1, as hydrogen; but because deuterium has also and a neutron, the atom is different compared to the atom of hydrogen. Consequently deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen with the Atomic Mass 2.

What are the forms of hydrogen?
There are three forms of Hydrogen (these are known as isotopes). These are normal hydrogen, deuterium and tritium.
What does the chemical symbol 2H mean?
H2 is a hydrogen molecule made of two hydrogen atoms bonded together. The preceding two refers to the number of moles of H2 molecules in the chemical equation.
How does a deuterium depleted water machine work to remove deuterium from water?
A deuterium depleted water machine separates deuterium from water by using a process called electrolysis. This involves passing an electric current through the water, causing the deuterium to separate from the regular hydrogen atoms. The deuterium is then collected separately, resulting in deuterium-depleted water.
What color is deuterium in liquid form?
Well, deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen, meaning it has more neutrons in its nucleus but for the most part identical chemical properties. Molecular hydrogen, or H2, freezes at about 14K, or -434 degrees Fahrenheit (taken from another wiki answer), so molecular deuterium should as well (you won't be able to get the element on its own as in isolation hydrogen forms an ion and repels other hydrogen atoms.) If you ever were able to get molecular deuterium to be a liquid, which you could only do in a laboratory or the deep reaches of space, and there was light around, you would probably see a clear liquid. Most compounds that are colored are either coordinated metals or big organic compounds, and molecular deuterium is neither. But I've never seen it...
Why is H2 more reactive than D2?
Hydrogen gas (H2) is more reactive than deuterium gas (D2) because the bond dissociation energy of H-H bond is lower than that of D-D bond. This lower bond strength in H2 makes it easier for the bond to break and the reaction to occur. Additionally, the lighter hydrogen atom has higher kinetic energy at a given temperature, increasing the likelihood of reaction.
Is hydrogen a compound or a mixture?
Hydrogen can be an atom (H1), a molecule (H2 or normal hydrogen), an isotope such as deuterium or tritium. Ionized Hydrogen is simply a proton.

What color is deuterium in gas form?
It's the same color as hydrogen -- colorless.

Isotope of hydrogen with one neutron?
deuterium
What is deuterium oxide?
Deuterium oxide, also known as heavy water, is a form of water that contains a higher proportion of deuterium (a hydrogen isotope) than regular water. It is used in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator and in some scientific research applications.

Who discovered deuterium and when?
Deuterium was discovered by Harold Urey in 1931.

Why and how Deuterium is responsible for softening of water?
Water is not softened with deuterium.
