@Abhas you are right.

The formula for water molecules is H2O, whereas, the isotopes of hydrogen are protium, deuterium, tritium. So it forms deuterium oxide. It is prepared by the ordinary hydrogen by the method of electrolysis.

PH of D2O or should we say PD is 7.435.

Heavy water is water that contains heavy hydrogen or deuterium. Deuterium differs from the hydrogen usually found in water, protium, in that each atom of deuterium contains a proton and a neutron. Heavy water may be deuterium oxide, D2O or it may be deuterium protium oxide, DHO.

Heavy water occurs naturally, although it is much less common than regular water. Approximately one water molecule per twenty million water molecules are heavy water. And also chemical formula is d20.
