Which one of the following orders is correct for the bond dissociation enthalpy of halogen molecules ?

  1. A \(Br_2 > I_2 > F_2 > Cl_2\)
  2. B \(F_2 > Cl_2 > Br_2 > I_2\)
  3. C \(I_2 > Br_2 > Cl_2 > F_2\)
  4. D \(Cl_2 > Br_2 > F_2 > I_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(Cl_2 > Br_2 > F_2 > I_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}>\mathrm{Br}_{2}>\mathrm{F}_{2}>\mathrm{I}_{2}\) Bond dissociation energy of \(F_{2}\) less than \(C l_{2}\) and \(B r_{2}\) because small size of atom result in strong lone pair repulsion.
