Chemistry / Is the atomic radius of H2 and D2 the same?
« on: 14/01/2012 20:12:00 »
What about the comparison of van der Waals radius and covalent radius of these two the same or different?
And if there is a difference why is that?
okay

This suggests the atomic radius and covalent atomic radius of Hydrogen differs from those of Deuterium
Ar of H is 1.007825 while Ar of D is of 2.0140
Mr of H2 is 2.016 while Mr of D2 is 4.029
But still it doesn't say why
