Solution

The hydrogen in heavy water is different from the hydrogen in normal water because of option B. The hydrogen atoms in heavy water have a neutron in the nucleus, doubling the mass. This type of hydrogen is known as deuterium. Normal water, or H2O, consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. In contrast, heavy water, or D2O, consists of two deuterium atoms and one oxygen atom. The presence of the neutron in the deuterium atoms gives heavy water a greater molecular weight than normal water.
