title: Deuterium
text: Deuterium (hydrogen-2, symbol ⁲H or D, also known as heavy hydrogen) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen; the other is protium, or hydrogen-1, ⁱH. The deuterium nucleus, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron, whereas the far more common ⁱH has no neutrons. Deuterium has a natural abundance in Earth's oceans of about one atom of deuterium in every 6,420 atoms of hydrogen. Thus deuterium accounts for about 0.0156% by number (0.0312% by mass) of all hydrogen in the ocean: 4.8
