Statement-I:

\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{H}

bond is weaker than

\mathrm{D}

\mathrm{D}

bond

Statement-II:

\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{H}

bond is longer than

\mathrm{D}

\mathrm{D}

bond

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

I is true & II is false

Option C is correct because the H-H bond is indeed weaker than the D-D bond due to the higher vibrational frequency of H, but the bond lengths are approximately equal.
