ABSTRACT CONFLICTING DEFINITIONS OF ISOTOPY ONE gram is the weight of one cubic centimetre of water at 4° C. One cubic centimetre of heavy water weighs about 10 per cent more, that is, 1.1
grams. The molecule of heavy water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, in the same proportion as that of ordinary water; two hydrogen atoms being united with one oxygen atom. Nor is there
anything unusual about the oxygen atom in this heavy water molecule. But the hydrogen is different from ordinary hydrogen. Its atomic weight is 2 instead of 1, and to this new sort of
hydrogen all the heaviness of heavy water is due. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS
