Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen which has atomic mass of 2 units which is twice of the that of hydrogen atom which has an atomic mass of one unit. Because of this the molecular mass of deuterium oxide is 20 units, whereas that of normal water is 18 units. Therefore deuterium oxide is called heavy water.
