Properties of Light and Heavy Hydrogen. Vapor pressures from the triple point to the critical point for hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, and the various diatomic combinations are Hsted in Table 1 (15). Data are presented for the equiUbrium and normal states. The equiUbrium state for these substances is the low temperature ortho—para composition existing at 20.39 K, the normal boiling point of normal hydrogen. The normal state is the high (above 200 K) temperature ortho—para composition, which remains essentially constant.

Hydrogen was recognized as the essential element in acids by H. Davy after his work on the hydrohalic acids, and theories of acids and bases have played an important role ever since. The electrolytic dissociation theory of S. A. Arrhenius and W. Ostwald in the 1880s, the introduction of the pH scale for hydrogen-ion concentrations by S. P. L. Sprensen in 1909, the theory of acid-base titrations and indicators, and J. N. Brdnsted s fruitful concept of acids and conjugate bases as proton donors and acceptors (1923) are other land marks (see p. 48). The di.scovery of ortho- and para-hydrogen in 1924, closely followed by the discovery of heavy hydrogen (deuterium) and...

An isotope that is used extensively is deuterium (heavy hydrogen), often in the form of a deuteromethyl (-CD3) group. The molecular weight of this compound is thus three Da higher than the unlabelled precursor and this is often sufficient to ensure that the ions in the molecular ion region of the unlabelled compound do not occur at the same m/z ratios as those from the labelled molecule.

In aqueous solutions, approximately one atom of deuterium, D, is present for every 7000 atoms of the ordinary hydrogen isotope (protium, H). In the evolntion of heavy hydrogen, HD, the polarization is approximately 0.1 V higher than in the evolution of ordinary hydrogen, H2. Hence during electrolysis the gas will be richer in protium, and the residual solution will be richer in deuterium. The relative degree of enrichment is called the separation factor (S) of the hydrogen isotopes,... 

The observation of a primary tritium isotope effect (H/T) that is substantially larger than the value predicted on the basis of the semiclassical Swain-Schaad relation (Chart 3) from a heavy-hydrogen (DAT) isotope effect. The same information can be expressed in terms of a Swain-Schaad exponent required to relate the two isotope effects that is substantially larger than the semiclassical value of 3.26. 

Examples of isotopes are abundant. The major form of hydrogen is represented as H (or H-1), with one proton H, known as the isotope deuterium or heavy hydrogen, consists of one proton and one neutron (thus an amu of 2) and is the isotope of hydrogen called tritium with an amu of 3. Carbon-12 ( C or C-12) is the most abundant form of carbon, though carbon has several isotopes. One is the C isotope, a radioactive isotope of carbon that is used as a tracer and to determine dates of organic artifacts. Uranium-238 is the radioactive isotope (Note The atomic number is placed as a subscript prefix to the element s symbol—for example, —and the atomic mass number can be written either as a dash and number fol-... 

Lithium aluminum deuteride (LiAlD ) is used as a source of deuterium atoms (heavy hydrogen, D-2) to produce tritium (jT-3) (super heavy hydrogen) for coohng nuclear reactors. 

Helium is also the result of fusion reactions wherein the nuclei of heavy hydrogen are fused to form atoms of hehum. The result is the release of great amounts of energy. Fusion is the physical or nuclear reaction (not chemical reaction) that takes place in the sun and in thermonuclear weapons (e.g., the hydrogen bomb). 

Plutonium exists in trace amounts in nature. Most of it isotopes are radioactive and manmade or produced by the natural decay of uranium. Plutonium-239 is produced in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with deuterons (nuclei of deuterium, or heavy hydrogen). The transmutation process is as follows + deuterons—> 2 nuclei + Np + p— ... 

But nature provides only 0.7% of the fissionable isotope U in natural uranium, the rest being 238u and although the predominant hydrogen isotope in water is a good moderator, it absorbs too many neutrons to allow a reaction to be maintained with the low content of natural uranium. However, the heavy hydrogen...

In the first step of hydrogen fusion, two protons combine to form a deuteron and a positron. A deuteron is the nucleus of an isotope of hydrogen heavy hydrogen, or deuterium. It consists of a proton and a neutron. 

Deuterium An isotope of hydrogen whose nucleus contains one neutron and one proton, thus making it nearly twice as heavy as the nucleus of normal hydrogen (normal hydrogen has a single proton). This material is commonly referred to as heavy hydrogen. It occurs naturally as 1 atom to 6,500 atoms of normal hydrogen and is not radioactive. 

In a much-publicized study in 1989, Pons and Fleischmann claimed to have observed cold fusion of nuclei of deuterium (heavy hydrogen, D) within palladium electrodes that were being used to electrolyze D2O. Had this been the case, what other electrode materials might also have shown the same phenomenon ...
