Melting point and boiling point of similar compounds depend upon their molecular weight. Compounds with higher molecular weight have more electrons and nuclei resulting into presence of vander waals attraction forces.

\mathrm{Property}    \mathrm{H_{2}O}     \mathrm{D_{2}O}     \mathrm{T_{2}O}
Molecular weight 18.015 22.028 22.0312
Melting point (K) 273.0 276.8 277.5
Boiling point (K) 373.0 374.4 374.5
