deuterated water

deuterated water (uncountable)

1. (inorganic chemistry) Water in which one or both protium (normal hydrogen) atoms is replaced by deuterium hydrogen
   1. by restriction, heavy water (D₂O, or, more correctly, ²H₂O)
   2. by restriction, semi-heavy water, deuterium-protium water (²H¹HO)

(D₂O):

• heavy water
• fully-deuterated water

(²H¹HO):

• semi-heavy water
• semi-deuterated water

(water with deuterium replacement of protium):

• H₂O
• water

(water with deuterium replacement of protium):

• heavy water (D₂O)
• semiheavy water (DHO)
• TDO (³H²HO)

• fully deuterated water
• semideuterated water

• tritiated water
• protiated water
