Bond energy of \(\mathrm{Cl}_2, \mathrm{Br}_2\) and \(\mathrm{I}_2\) follow the order

  1. A \(\mathrm{Cl}_2>\mathrm{Br}_2>\mathrm{I}_2\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Br}_2>\mathrm{Cl}_2>\mathrm{I}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{I}_2>\mathrm{Br}_2>\mathrm{Cl}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{I}_2>\mathrm{Cl}_2>\mathrm{Br}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Cl}_2>\mathrm{Br}_2>\mathrm{I}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As the size of atom increases, \(A-A\) bond length increases and hence, \(A-A\) bond energy decreases. (where \(A=\mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{I})\) \(\therefore\) The order of bond energy is \(\mathrm{Cl}_2>\mathrm{Br}_2>\mathrm{I}_2\)
