Dihydrogen reacts with dioxygen (O 2 ) to form water. Write the name and formula of the product when the isotope of hydrogen which has one proton and one neutron in its nucleus is treated with oxygen. Will the reactivity of both the isotopes be the same towards oxygen? Justify your answer.

Options

  1. AThe product is Deuterium Oxide (D 2 O). The reactivity of Deuterium [D] towards oxygen is higher than that of
  2. BThe product is Deuterium Oxide (D 2 O). The reactivity of Deuterium [D] towards oxygen is the same as that of
  3. CThe product is Heavy Water (H 2 O). The reactivity of Deuterium [D] towards oxygen is higher than that of Prot
  4. DThe product is Heavy Water (H 2 O). The reactivity of Deuterium [D] towards oxygen is the same as that of Prot

Correct answer

A. The product is Deuterium Oxide (D 2 O). The reactivity of Deuterium [D] towards oxygen is higher than that of

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) The product is Deuterium Oxide (D 2 O). The reactivity of Deuterium [D] towards oxygen is higher than that of Protium (H).
