True: I'm due to smash an element (9)
I believe the answer is:
deuterium
'an element' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'true i'm due to smash' is the wordplay.
'to smash' indicates an anagram.
'true'+'im'+'due'='trueimdue'
'trueimdue' with letters rearranged gives 'DEUTERIUM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
