Heavy Water -

Heavy water is approximately than ordinary water. Appearance : Colorless and odorless liquid. Freezing/Boiling Points : It freezes at ) and boils at

Deuterium occurs naturally but is rare—only about hydrogen atoms in ocean water is deuterium. Heavy Water

: Because it is denser, ice cubes made of heavy water will sink in a glass of ordinary liquid water. 2. Primary Uses Heavy water is approximately than ordinary water

: Large quantities are used in specialized detectors, such as the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory , to study solar particles. such as the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

Heavy water's most famous application is in the nuclear industry, but it serves several high-tech roles:

: It is widely used as a solvent in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy because deuterium does not interfere with the hydrogen signals being measured.
