    The molecule having highest bond energy is:

    A)  \[N-N\]          

    B)         \[F-F\]

    C)         \[C-C\]           

    D)         \[O-O\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Greater the number of lone pairs present on the bonded atoms, greater is the repulsive interactions between them and smaller the bond energies.
    Bond \[C-C\] \[\overset{\centerdot \centerdot }{\mathop{N}}\,-\overset{\centerdot \centerdot }{\mathop{N}}\,\] \[_{\centerdot }^{\centerdot }\overset{\centerdot \centerdot }{\mathop{O}}\,-\overset{\centerdot \centerdot }{\mathop{O}}\,_{\centerdot }^{\centerdot }\] \[_{\centerdot }^{\centerdot }\overset{\centerdot \centerdot }{\mathop{F}}\,-\overset{\centerdot \centerdot }{\mathop{F}}\,_{\centerdot }^{\centerdot }\]
    Number of   lone pairs 0 1 2 3
    Bond  energy                        (kJ/mol) 348 163 146 139
