The kinetics of the reactions of F atoms with hydrogen and deuterium has been studied in a discharge flow reactor combined with an electron impact ionization quadrupole mass spectrometer at nearly 2 Torr total pressure of helium and in the temperature range 220‐960 K. The rate constant of the reaction F + H 2  → HF + H (1) was determined using both relative rate method (using reaction F + Br 2 as a reference) and absolute measurements, monitoring the kinetics of F atom consumption in excess of H 2 : k 1  = (1.24 ± 0.09) × 10 −10 exp(−(507 ± 23)/ T ) cm 3  molecule −1  s −1 . The rate constant of the reaction F + D 2  → DF + D (2) was measured under pseudo‐first‐order conditions in excess of D 2 over F atoms: k 2  = (8.47 ± 0.42) × 10 −11 exp(−(670 ± 16)/ T ) cm 3  molecule −1  s −1 (the uncertainties on both k 1 and k 2 represent precision at the 2 σ level, the estimated total uncertainty on the rate constants being 15% at all temperatures). The kinetic isotope effect measured independently, k 1 / k 2  = (1.58 ± 0.05) × exp((131 ± 2)/ T ), was found to be in excellent agreement (within 7% in the temperature range of the work, T  = 220‐960 K) with the ratio of k 1 to k 2 calculated with the Arrhenius expressions for k 1 and k 2 determined in the study. The kinetic data from the present work are discussed in comparison with previous measurements and theoretical calculations.
