Classification Of Elements And Periodicity In Properties Question 3

Question 3 - 29 January - Shift 1

The bond dissociation energy is highest for

(1) $Cl_2$

(2) $I_2$

(3) $Br_2$

(4) $F_2$

Show Answer

Answer: (1)

Solution:

Formula: Bond dissosication enthalpy

Bond energy of $F_2$ less than $Cl_2$ due to lone pair lone pair repulsions.

Bond energy order $Cl_2>Br_2>F_2>I_2$
