Periodic Table of Videos- Hydrogen


This video about Hydrogen was very informative. I had not known that hydrogen had an isotope called Deuterium which has twice the mass of Hydrogen due to the extra proton and neutron. When combined with oxygen it makes "heavy water". (It is NOT safe to drink!) While they look the same Deuterium and Hydrogen are quite different in their reactions. Another isotope of Hydrogen is Tritium which is radioactive.

    I like the way you incorporated the isotopes but maybe you could have added their chemical symbols.
