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

Answer

N/a

Explanation

The isotoper of hydrogen which constains one proton and one neutron is deuterium (D).
Therefore , when dideuterium reacts with dioxyen, heavy water `(D_(2)O)` is produced .
`underset("Dideuterium")(2D_(2)(g))+ underset("Dioxygen")(O_(2)(g)) overset("Heat")to underset(("Heavy water"))underset("Deuterium")(2D_(2)O)`
The reactivy of `H_(2)` and `D_(2)` towards oxygen will be different. Since , the D- D bond is stronger than H-H bond, therefore,` H_(2)` is , more reactive than `D_(2)`.
