Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect In a diatomic molecule involving two like atoms covalently bonded with each other, Bond energy =2× heat of formation of atom.
H2⟶2H;ΔHH−−H=2ΔaH
Heat of formation of H atom =ΔaH=ΔHH−−H2.
The assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect
