The symbol for heavy water is D2O, where the "D" represents deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. Heavy water is chemically similar to regular water (H2O), but its physical properties differ due to the presence of deuterium. It is commonly used as a moderator in nuclear reactors and as a tracer in scientific research.
