The P Block Elements - Result Question 71

####74. Which one of the following arrangements does not give the correct picture of the trends indicated against it?

[2000, 2008]

(a) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2 : Oxidizing power

(b) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2 : Electron gain enthalpy

(c) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2 : Bond dissociation energy

(d) F2>Cl2>Br2>I2 : Electronegativity.

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b and c)

(a) The oxidising power of halogen follow the order F2>Cl2>Br2>I2.

(b) The correct order of electron gain enthalpy of halogens is Cl2>F2>Br2>I2. The low value of F2 than Cl2 is due to its small size.

(c) The correct order of bond dissociation energies of halogens is

Cl2>Br2>F2>I2.

(d) It is the correct order of electronegativity values of halogens.

F2>Cl2>Br2>I2
