Question

Apart from the production of nuclear power, the heavy water is also useful in

Answer 1

Heavy water (deuterium oxide, 2
H
2O, D
2O) is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotopedeuterium (2
H or D, also known as heavy hydrogen), rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope (1
H or H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water.[3] The presence of deuterium gives the chemical different nuclear properties, and the increase of mass gives it different physical and chemical properties compared to normal "light water".
