Question

The isotopes of hydrogen have different physical properties due to difference in mass. They have almost same chemical properties with a difference in their rates of reactions which is mainly due to (A) their different enthalpy of bond dissociation (B) different physical properties (C) different atomic masses (D) different electronic configurations

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Isotopes have same chemical properties, but heavier isotope reacts with slower reaction rate. For example, Deuterium reaction slower than hydrogen.
