But...Then plasma is just equivalent to a regular derivative of ethane, ethene, or ethyne! | But...Then plasma is just equivalent to a regular derivative of ethane, ethene, or ethyne! Hold up there! Yes, it's just regular ethene, ethane, '''IF''' YOU USE <sup>1</sup>H, AKA Protium, AKA "Normal hydrogen" AKA "A single proton with an electron buzzing around it". Atoms are composed of protons (positive), electrons (negative), and neutrons (neutral). Isotopes are atoms that have a "deviant" number of neutrons. This messes shit up, and gives isotopes different properties than the "normal" element. Generally (although there are exceptions!), the "normal" isotope has as many neutrons as it does protons. Protium AKA "normal" hydrogen, is one such exception. | ||
Hyrogen has two isotopes. One, Deuterium, which is stable, and forms Deuterium Oxide (D<sub>2</sub>O), AKA "Heavy Water" (heavy water icecubes don't float on top of liquid water or heavy water, fun fact). Deuterium is a proton, a neutron, and an electron. There is also, TRITIUM, which is two neutrons, a proton, an electron. Tritium is also radioactive. On earth, Tritium is rare. In spess however, it's rather common (the source of tritium on earth is normal hydrogen getting hit by COSMIC RAYS). Tritium is also very toxic. | Hyrogen has two isotopes.
