    Which one of the following halogens has the highest bond dissociation energy?

    A) \[{{F}_{2}}\]                     

    B) \[C{{l}_{2}}\]     

    C) \[B{{r}_{2}}\]                    

    D)        \[{{I}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    As the size increases bond length increases, thus bond dissociation energy decreases. Molecule                            Bond dissociation energy \[{{F}_{2}}\]                                       158.8 \[C{{l}_{2}}\]                                      242.6 \[B{{r}_{2}}\]                                     192.8 \[{{I}_{2}}\]                                        151.1 However, the dissociation energy of fluorine is less because of its small size. Hence, \[\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}\] has the highest bond dissociation energy
