Today (January 5, 1981) is the anniversary of the Nobel Prize-winning American physicist and chemist Harold Clayton Urey for his discovery of deuterium.

Today (January 5, 1981) is the anniversary of the Nobel Prize-winning American physicist and chemist Harold Clayton Urey for his discovery of deuterium.

Harold Clayton Urey was born on April 29, 1893, in Walkerton, Indiana, USA, the son of the clergyman Samuel Clayton Urey and Cora Irebeca Iron. He holds a degree in Zoology from the University of Montana in the United States. He later earned a doctorate in the study of thermodynamics in chemistry under the guidance of Gilbert Louis Enbar at the University of California, Berkeley.

Physicist Raymond D. at Berkeley. Birke was inspired by them and later joined the Niels War at Copenhagen to study nuclear construction. After returning to the United States, he was an Associate in Chemistry at the University of San Francisco from 1924 to 1928. He later joined Columbia University and formed a research team. He later co-authored a book with Arthur Ruark entitled "Atoms, Quanta, and Molecules". It is one of the first books in English about quantum dialectics and its applications. The interest in urea led to the discovery of deuterium as a result of its study of the nucleus.

Harold Clayton Urey is the recipient of the 1934 Nobel Prize for his discovery of deuterium, an isotope of urea hydrogen. He is best known for his Miller-Ure recipe for the development of the atomic bomb and the formation of living organisms from inanimate matter. Deuterium is one of the isotopes of hydrogen. The nucleus accumbens contains a positive charge and a neutron. Named Deuterium because the nucleus contains two particles. "Reuters" in Greek means "second". The chemical code for deuterium is 2H. However, the symbol D is also commonly used to denote this.

In Tamil, it is also called Neeriyam-2. Deuterium is found naturally in the ocean. Deuterium is one of the approximately 6,420 hydrogen atoms. Atomic orientation is 156.25 per million parts (ppm). 0.0156 per cent of the earth is deuterium. (0.0312% by mass). The current size of the galaxy is thought to have occurred about 13.7 billion years ago, when the Big Bang erupted, as tutorial decays faster than it does and is much smaller than other systems.

Comets are estimated to contain 156 parts per million, similar to those found on Earth. Thus it is thought that even the water in the Earth's oceans may have formed in such a cometary collision. Deuterium combines with two oxygen molecules to form water. Heavy water is used in nuclear reactors. In addition to the Eurasian Nobel Prize, he was awarded the Franklin Medal in 1943 and the J.A. He won the Lawrence Smith Medal, the Royal Astronomical Society Gold Medal in 1966, and the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society in 1973. In 1964 he received the National Medal of Science. In 1947 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. Asteroid 4716 Urey (lunar crater Urey) is named after him.

Urey enjoyed horticulture and the cultivation of Catalia, Cymbidium and other orchids. Harold Clayton Urey, Nobel laureate for his discovery of deuterium, passed away on January 5, 1981, at the age of 87 in La Jolla, California. Burial was in Fairfield Cemetery in Deacolf County, Indiana.
