Correct Answer: Hydrogen


Solution : The correct answer is Hydrogen .

One electron, one proton and one neutron make up the deuterium isotope of hydrogen. In heavy water-moderated fission reactors, deuterium is employed as liquid D 2 O to slow neutrons without the high neutron absorption of regular hydrogen. Deuterium serves as a stable, non-radioactive isotope tracer.
