The O–H bond energy in water when compared to O–D bond energy in heavy water is
All physical constants OF: D2O > H2O
Reason: Physical properties Molecular mass
Exception: Dielectric costant: H2O > D2O
Dielectric constant is a measure of ionisation of a Salt by the solvent example:
→Density: D2O > H2O
→Boiling point D2O > H2O
→ Latent heat of vapoursation : D2O > H2O
→ Dielectric constant : D2O > D2O.
