Answer:
True
Explanation:
We know that the zero-point-energy of a C-D system is quite lower than the zero point energy of the C-H bond so the C-D bond is stronger.
Kinetic isotope effect refers to the change in the rate of reaction owing to a change of one of the atoms of the reactants by replacing it with one of its isotopes.
Since we know that the C-D bond is stronger than the C-H bond, when we replace hydrogen with deuterium in a reaction's rate determining step we experience a little lag in the rate of reaction. This is referred to as the kinetic isotope effect in physical organic chemistry.

Explanation:
What Adi failed to realize is that the oily substance that was obtained from lavender consists of a mixture of substances. It is not only the required fragrance that is present in the extract.
This experiment will not work because those other components in the mixture may be erroneously identified when they show up in the mass spectrum of the extract and may be mistaken for the fragrance in question.
Hence the experiment will not work because; if some kind of separation method is not used to identify other impurities in the oil, many other substances may be mistaken for the actual fragrance.
Answer: See below
Explanation: a. The mass of an element is composed of:
protons: 1 amu each
neutrons: 1 amu each
electrons: 0 amu each
Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element
b. Electrons are assigned a mass of 0. They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.
c. An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.
