Physics:Quantum atoms/deuterium
From HandWiki Test
deuterium is a Book II topic in the Quantum Collection. Deuterium is the stable hydrogen isotope whose nucleus contains one proton and one neutron.[1] In this collection it is linked to the deuteron and to nuclear-fusion fuel cycles.[2] Deuterium is important because the extra neutron changes the mass, nuclear spin, binding energy, and spectroscopic details of hydrogen-like systems. It appears in heavy water, isotope effects, nuclear magnetic resonance, fusion fuel cycles, and precision measurements. In quantum physics it is a useful example of how a small nuclear change modifies atomic and molecular behavior.
