Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.
How do you know that a deuterium is a form of hydrogen not a form of helium?
Deuterium has 1 proton, and therefore an isotope of Hydrogen. Remember the number of protons is what changes the atomic number, and what element a atom is. When tritium and deuterium react under immense pressure and heat they form Helium (and omits a neutron) This is the most basic example of nuclear fusion.
What form of hydrogen has 1 proton and one neutron in its nucleus?
Regular hydrogen.
What are the main differences of deuterium and hydrogen?
Deuterium is hydrogen. The difference between deuterium and protium (the regular hydrogen) is that deuterium has an extra neutron. As a result, there are some differences in physical properties such as density, boiling point, etc.
How many neutrons are in an atom of deuterium 2H?
Deuterium, 2H has one neutron.
Example of isotopes?
hydrogen and deuterium is an example
What elements are in deuterium?

Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.
What is a form of a element that has the same atomic number but a different mass number?
It is an isotope, an example is hydrogen and deuterium.
Isotope of hydrogen with one neutron?
deuterium
Who discovered deuterium and when?
Deuterium was discovered by Harold Urey in 1931.

Is deuterium fluoride an acid or a base?
Deuterium flouride is an acid
Why and how Deuterium is responsible for softening of water?
Water is not softened with deuterium.
Why do you see so little deuterium today?
When the Earth first formed, there was an abundant amount of deuterium in the atmosphere. Today, most of the deuterium has fused into helium and because of that, there is little deuterium left.

What is the symbol for the deuterium isotope of hydrogen?
Hydrogen-2 is commonly referred to as deuterium, in addition to that it is known as Deuterium-1
