The correct order of bond enthalpy of given molecules is

  1. A \(\mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{H}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{H}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{H}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{H}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct order of bond enthalpy \(=\mathrm{H}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2\) This is due to increasing bond strength due to single, double and triple bonds respectively \((\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O}, \mathrm{N} \equiv\) N).
