In the UV dissociation of water equation it says several stages above the arrow, what are these stages?!
The only thing I can think of are propagation stages, because the actual homolytic fission of water is initiation because radicals are formed. If I'd been asked in an exam I would have thought OH and H were perhaps products from that kind of reaction so that could be an in-between stage
With the last question could you also say CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2???? I thought the 'rocks' might be limestone LOL? :P I guess there are a couple different equations.
Yeah I checked my answers again and that equation was actually the first one on the list so I think you should stick to that
I know this sounds stupid, but how is deuterium represented as 21H if a hydrogen isotope is represented as 21H. I thought it would be 22H as deuterium has an extra neutron?

No, it would be 21H, because the bottom number is only the number of protons, and doesn't involve nuetronns (atomic number)
