Abstract
It is shown that several two-body unitary transformations which arise in the theory of meson-exchange currents can change the percentage $D$ state of the deuteron, implying that this percentage is not a measurable quantity. The connection of these transformations to meson-exchange contributions to the quadrupole moment, rms radius, magnetic moment, and the asymptotic $\frac{D}{S}$ ratio of the deuteron is discussed.NUCLEAR STRUCTURE $^{2}\mathrm{H}$; $q$, $\ensuremath{\mu}$, $\ensuremath{\rho}$; meson-exchange currents; percent $D$ state.
