Which bonding outcome is disrupted by deuterium substitution during kinetic analysis?

💡 Explanation

Isotopic replacement impacts vibrational frequency and zero point energy; therefore, the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) affects hydrogen bond strength to favor protium rather than deterium, because C-H bonds break sooner via zero-point vibrational difference.
