Verified by Experts

In each deuterium atom `(""_(1)H^(2))`, totally three fundamental particles `(1e^(-)," 1p"," 1n")` are present. In each oxygen atom `(""_(8)O^(16))`, 24 fundamental particles `(8e^(-)" 8p, 8n")` are present. Total number of fundamental particles in a molecule of heavy water `(D_(2)O)=(2xx3)+24=30`.
