Diffractive and rotationally mediated selective adsorption scattering resonances are reported for n-H/sub 2/, p-H/sub 2/, n-D/sub 2/, and o-D/sub 2/ on Ag(111). Small resonance shifts and linewidth differences are observed between n-H2 and p-H2, indicating a weak orientation dependence of the laterally averaged H2/Ag(111) potential. The p-H2 and o-D2 levels were used to determine the isotropic component of this potential, yielding a well depth of approximately 32 meV.
