Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Helium is and entirely different element.
Deuterium has 1 proton, and therefore an isotope of Hydrogen. Remember the number of protons is what changes the atomic number, and what element a atom is. When tritium and deuterium react under immense pressure and heat they form Helium (and omits a neutron) This is the most basic example of nuclear fusion.
The fusion of deuterium (D) and hydrogen (H) involves the fusion of two deuterium nuclei to form a helium-3 nucleus and a neutron. The equation for this reaction is: 2D + 1H → 3He + n + energy.
Deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, has an atomic mass of 2 since it has a neutron as well as a proton in the nucleas. Hydrogen oxide, H20 is known as water - deuterium oxide is known as heavy water.
Deuterium is hydrogen. The difference between deuterium and protium (the regular hydrogen) is that deuterium has an extra neutron. As a result, there are some differences in physical properties such as density, boiling point, etc.
Deuterium lamps produce UV light using deuterium gas, whereas hydrogen lamps use hydrogen gas. Deuterium lamps provide a higher intensity of light in the UV range compared to hydrogen lamps, making them more suitable for applications requiring high UV output. Deuterium lamps also have a longer lifetime and are more stable in their output over time compared to hydrogen lamps.
The difference between helium and deuterium in the aspect of its structures all boils down to the configurations of its subatomic particles. Helium has 2 protons and electrons and 2 neutrons whilst deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, has 1 proton, electron and neutron.
On the contrary, deuterium is stable.
deuterium and tritium fuse producing helium and a neutronthe helium is fully ionized and thus could also be called an alpha particle

In fuel cells the hydrogen is oxidised to water. In fusion 2 different isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) fuse together to form helium.
The simplest and easiest reaction to do is deuterium tritium fusion, this makes helium-4 and a free neutron.The next simplest is deuterium deuterium fusion, this can make any of 3 products: helium-4, helium-3 and a free neutron, or tritium and hydrogen.The hardest is multistep, hydrogen hydrogen fusion, this makes helium-2 which instantly beta decays to deuterium, followed by deuterium deuterium or deuterium tritium fusion.There are various other pathways too.

Helium is the lighter gas but hydrogen is very flammable
Different numbers of neutrons, e.g. deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen.
Helium is a gas that is lighter than air. Iron is a solid metal and is heavy.
