Water is a molecule with two hydrogens and an oxygen. Sometimes, instead of hydrogen it has deuterium, which has an extra neutron. This is heavy water.
It’s a kind of water because, while rare, it naturally occurs and when it’s in the mix it all acts, looks, and reacts just like “normal” water. We didn’t know what we called water was mostly “light water.” We learned there’s more than one kind, and that’s neat.
Heavy water is water.
