WHAT IS HEAVY WATER ? AND EXPLAIN ITS PROPERTIES WITH EXAMPLES.
heavy water. Water in which deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen, takes the place of hydrogen. Heavy water has physical and chemical properties that are like those of ordinary water, but heavy water is 10 percent heavier and has higher freezing and boiling points. Also called deuterium oxide.
The term heavy water generally applies to highly enriched water that contains mostly deuterium oxide D2O and some hydrogen-deuterium oxide (HDO) and a smaller number of ordinary hydrogen oxide H2O molecules.
