Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen. Helium is and entirely different element.
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.
they have different names
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.
Hydrogen and deuterium lamps for UV vary in the gases that are utilized in the discharge.. Deuterium lamps also generate a higher intensity radiation compared to hydrogen lamps.
No. The difference between them is that helium atoms have electrons, and alpha particles don't.
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.
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.
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.

When the Earth first formed, there was an abundant amount of deuterium in the atmosphere. Today, most of the deuterium has fused into helium and because of that, there is little deuterium left.
In deuterium-tritium fusion, the result is helium-4. In helium fusion, carbon is produced.

Helium is the lighter gas but hydrogen is very flammable
