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.
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.
Deuteriums emision spectrum either is like hydrogen http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch6/bohr.html or like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Deuterium_lamp_1.png
Deuterium, also called heavy hydrogen, is a stable isotope of Hydrogen.The nucleus of deuterium is called a deuteron, contains ONE proton and (typically for the deuterium isotope) ONE neutron, whereas the far more common hydrogen nucleus contains no neutron.Both contain ONE electron in the 1s-shell, so chemically they are of the same properties.
Using tritium with deuterium in a hydrogen bomb allows for a more efficient fusion reaction by increasing the rate of fusion and the yield of the bomb. Tritium and deuterium isotopes react at lower temperatures and pressures compared to pure deuterium, making the fusion process easier to initiate and sustain. Additionally, tritium is a potent source of neutrons, which can increase the efficiency of the fusion reaction.
This is the deuterium isotope, which has a nucleus of one proton and one neutron, whereas the predominant hydrogen isotope has just a proton. In natural water on earth, which is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, H2O, there is a small proportion of water made from deuterium instead of normal hydrogen, this is often written as D2O. To make heavy water this compound is extracted, so you don't make the heavy water, you separate it out from natural water.
Deuterium is just an isotope of hydrogen, so the atomic number is 1.
Zacchaeus was a wee little man and a wee little man was he!He climbed up in a sycchamore tree, for the Lord He wanted to see!And He said, "Zacchaeus! You come down!"For I'm going to your house today!"For I'm going to your house today!"
Protium, deuterium, and tritium are all isotopes of hydrogen (H). As far as their masses: Tritium>Deuterium>Protium In their nuclei: Protium has 1 proton and 0 neutrons Deuterium has 1 proton and 1 neutron Tritium has 1 proton and 2 neutrons So yes, Deuterium is heavier than tritium.
no not reaaly but they can see you a little so be carefull if you see one
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...

dont think so since i havent heard even a little bit about it ...

The new windows are so fancy, oh let me tell you. They are so shiny you can just see right on through them to the other side. Mine are so clear that a little birdy flew right into them. Poor thing fell down outside and was convulsing. I felt bad for it so I just let my little girl Lilly go right out there and eat her.
Proton nmr has spin half nuclei. Deuterium NMR has spin 1 nuclei. One difference would be that hydrogen signals would not be split by fluorine (or phosphorus) in a molecule if it was Deuterium nmr. Another key difference is if it was an unenriched sample, deuterium NMR would be very weak (way less sensitive) compared to proton as it is very much less abundant naturally than hydrogen (1% or so)
