Is deuterium fluoride an acid or a base?
Deuterium flouride is an acid
How many electrons are there in hydrogen deuterium?
Two.
What is the mass number of deterium?
The mass number of deuterium is 2
What is deuterium oxide?
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)
What is the general name given to the compounds formed when elements burn in oxygen?
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.
Is deuterium on the periodic table of elements?
No. Deuterium is not an element in and of itself. It is an isotope of hydrogen.
What type of elements is generally involved in fusion reactions?
These elements are hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium), helium, lithium, boron.
Why are deuterium and tritium still hydrogen and not considered two different elements?
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.
When was deuterium discovered?
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.
The first four formed elements in the universe?
Big Bang nucleosynthesis produced stable isotopes for:Hydrogen(Deuterium)HeliumLithium
What type of elements form atomic bombs?
Elements at the extreme ends of the periodic table: high end - uranium, plutonium; low end - hydrogen (deuterium & tritium), lithium.
What were the first two elements Was H and HE the first two?
You are correct! According to our current understanding of the Big Bang theory, the first elements formed were hydrogen, deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and helium.
What elements besides uranium plutonium and hydrogen can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs?
Ex.: neptunium, deuterium (isotope of H)
Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.
What are all the gases in a protostar?
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.
What does water elements have?
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)
Isotope of hydrogen with one neutron?
deuterium
