Like ordinary water—H 2 0—each molecule of heavy water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The difference, though, lies in the hydrogen atoms. In ordinary water, each hydrogen ...

The atoms of some elements like helium do not form bonds. Helium atoms are single atoms. The atoms of elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen join in pairs to make molecules. Water is ...

About 98% of the mass of the universe is made up of only two types of atoms: hydrogen and helium. That’s because these two elements make up stars like our sun and most of the stars in the universe.

The US Arctic Research Commission and the UAF Geophysical Institute hosted a workshop on the energy potential of geologic ...

For example, you couldn’t pour oxygen and hydrogen atoms on a fire and expect to put it out. These atoms only act like water when they are bonded together as water molecules.
