What I did not know is that because hydrogen has various isotopes such as deuterium (D) and tritium (T), some rarer forms of water exist.
In addition to ordinary water (H2O), you can have semi-heavy water (HDO), heavy water aka deuterized water (D2O) and super heavy water aka tritiated water (T2O).
Tritiated water is radioactive.
- Someone 5y agoThere’s also HTO and DTO (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopologue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopologue) and Oxygen has 3 stable and 13 unstable isotopes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_oxygen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_oxygen), so many more variations exist.
