Detailed Solution

The order of bond dissociation energy (BDE): The order of bond lengths (B.L): → The bond dissociation energy of heavier isotopes is greater than that of lighter isotopes.→ As the bond dissociation energy increases the time required to break the bond in the reaction increases, therefore rate of reaction (r) decreases. i.e,. The reaction which involes heavier isotopes proceeds with slower rate (r1) than the reaction which involes lighter isotopes(r1) (1) B.L : H-H ≈ D-D→ Correct but it is not correct explaination for the rates of above reaction(2) B.L (or) B.D.E: D-D > H-H(3) ⇒ [Ea]2 > [Ea]1 and Activation Energy:(Ea)The energy difference between the Activated complex and reactants is called Activation energy.The reaction with high activation energy proceeds with slow rate
