Chapter 22, Problem 20E

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To validate: The given statement, “ $\text{D}$ is radioactive”, to be the reason for the difference in the physical properties of ${\text{D}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ .

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To validate: The given statement, “ $\text{D}$ forms stronger bonds with $\text{O}$ than $\text{H}$ does”, to be the reason for the difference in the physical properties of ${\text{D}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ .

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To validate: The given statement, “ $\text{D}$ is much more massive than $\text{H}$ ”, to be the reason for the difference in the physical properties of ${\text{D}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ .
