Name: 2.2 Hydrogen The relative isotopic abundance for hydrogen 2H: 1H is about 0.00016: 1, and therefore hydrogen isotopic substitutions are unlikely to play a major role in any observed (M+1) peak. The isotope 2H is called "heavy hydrogen or deuterium, and is given the symbol D. We can often provide support for mechanisms by incorporating isotopes such as 13C or D into compounds using isotopically labelled reagents. Mass spectrometry is a useful tool for analyzing such isotopic incorporation by...
