Why is “heavy water” used in nuclear energy, are not potable to drink, even it’s just 1 molecule more than H2O?
In: Chemistry
O2 is breathable oxygen and O3 is ozone and it’s just one atom away, and you for sure can’t breathe ozone.
H2O is water, but H2O2 (just one more oxygen atom) is Hydrogen Peroxide, which is absolutely not drinkable.
One atom takes a world of difference.
