Heavy water contain isotope of Hydrogen:
Correct answer: B. Deuterium
- A. Protium
- B. Deuterium
- C. Tritium
- D. Both A & C
Explanation
Heavy water contains the isotope of hydrogen known as Deuterium. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus, unlike the most common isotope of hydrogen, Protium, which has just one proton. Tritium, on the other hand, is another hydrogen isotope, but it is radioactive and less commonly found in nature. So, the correct answer is B) Deuterium. Heavy water (D2O) is water where the hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium atoms.

About Periodic Properties and Trends
Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
