ATOMIC PROPERTIES OF ISOTOPES OF HYDROGEN


Protium Deuterium
 it has a mass of 1.007825u  Deuterium is not radioactive, and
 The nucleus of this isotope consists does not represent a significant
of only a single proton toxicity hazard
 It is generally found as a diatomic  Its nucleus contains one proton and
hydrogen gas (H2). It combines with one neutron and that is why its mass
other atoms in compounds. number is 2.014102u
 It’s the most abundant (99.98%)  Contains one neutron
 No neutrons in the nucleus  It is used in heavy water(D2O) and
nuclear reactors
