It's chemical formula is $D_2O$.

★ Heavy water has very high molecular mass as compared to normal water.

Uses of Heavy water:-

★ Heavy Water is used for the preparation of Deuterium.

★ As a tracer to study the mechanism of respiration, photosynthesis.

★ D2O is used in NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy, which is used to observe the magnetic fields around the nuclei of atoms.
