is this a hydrocarbon?

Answer 5

I would say so, yes. Deuterium is an isotope of Hydrogen

Answer 6

are you 100% sure?

Answer 7

yes. I'm a doctor.

Answer 8

but my few senior friends said that this compound is not a hydrocarbon.
As you know from the name,hydro only refers to hydrogen and carbon refers to carbon.
In hydrocarbon,not hydrogen's isotopes include in it.

Answer 9

so can you tell me or prove it that i can prove them wrong by telling theory about this *as you like it)

Answer 10

D is simply the symbol used to represent the isotope. It is not actually an element. It's still hydrogen, except that it has a proton and a neutron, whereas regular hydrogen does not have it.
