Deuterium resembles hydrogen in properties but:
Options
- Areacts vigorously than hydrogen
- Breacts just as hydrogen
- Cemits β + particles
- Dreacts slower than hydrogen
Correct answer
D. reacts slower than hydrogen
Step-by-step solution
Reactivity of Deuterium is less than hydrogen due to high bond dissociation energy of D 2 Bond dissociation: H 2 D 2 435 . 88 443 . 35 Energy ( kJ / mole )
