I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is: Its hydrogen atoms are heavier than others. Deuterium, which is an isotope of hydrogen, has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus instead of just one proton like regular hydrogen. This extra neutron makes deuterium heavier than regular hydrogen. Therefore, deuterium oxide, or heavy water, gets its name because it contains more of this heavy hydrogen isotope.
