Deuterium (or heavy hydrogen) was an isotope of hydrogen. Deuterium with an admixture of tritium was used as fuel in matter-antimatter reactions aboard starships, like the USS Enterprise-D. It was stored in the deuterium tanks. (TNG: 'Contagion', 'Booby Trap', 'Disaster' okudagrams) During the 22nd century at least, It was considered a highly valuable commodity, and the Enterprise engines. Each are isotopes of hydrogen. Hydrogen nucleus has one proton only. Thus atomic number is one. This determines which element it is; and atomic weight is one.
