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 does the element DO stand for?

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.


What element is used in a nuclear fusion?

deuterium, and tritium

What element's 3 isotopes have different names?

hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium.


Deuterium is an element with one proton and one neutron Deuterium is called an?

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%.

This is the isotope of hydrogen - deuterium.


What element has an mass number of 2 and 1 neutron?

This is the isotope of hydrogen - deuterium.


How do you know Deuterium is made up of hydrogen?

Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, as opposed to the usual hydrogen isotope which only has one proton and no neutrons. This difference in atomic structure is what distinguishes deuterium as a form of hydrogen.


What element is used in nuclear fusion and in what forms?

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.


How do you make hydrogen heavier?

You cant. It is an element and thus making it heavier would mean it is no longer hydrogen. However, heavy hydrogen exists and is called deuterium and is made in nuclear reactors.
