Calculate total number of fundamental particles present in a molecule

1.	Calculate total number of fundamental particles present in a molecule of heavy water
Answer» Solution : In each deuterium atom `(""_1H^2)`, totally THREE FUNDAMENTAL particles `(1e^- , 1p , 1n)`are present. In each oxygen atom `(""_8O^16)`, 24 fundamental particles `(8e^(-) , 8p, 8n)`are present. Total number of fundamental particles in a molecule of heavy WATER `(D_2O) = (2xx 3) + 24 = 30`
