Question

discuss the importance of heavy water in nuclear reactor and how is it prepared from normal water​

Answer 1

Heavy water is used in certain types of nuclear reactors, where it acts as a neutron moderator to slow down neutrons so that they are more likely to react with the fissile uranium-235 than with uranium-238, which captures neutrons without fissioning.

Solubility in water: Miscible

Chemical formula: D; 2O

Boiling point: 101.4 °C (214.5 °F; 374.5 K)

Answer 2

in nuclear bombs lighter element like hydrogen fused to release so much energy and water contains hydrogen in lot of amount.
