Hydrogen-2 is an isotope of hydrogen, commonly called deuterium. Water that is composed of oxygen and deuterium atoms is called heavy water. Heavy water has many uses, including in nuclear reactors to slow down neutrons. The use of heavy water eliminates the need for enriched uranium. Which one of the following samples contains the fewest number of molecules? H is used as the symbol for hydrogen-1, and D is used as the symbol for hydrogen-2. 42 g of D₂O 39 g of D₂0 36 g of H₂O 2 moles of H₂O O 2 moles of D₂O
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
