Solution
The correct option is CF2>Cl2>Br2>I2 : Bond dissociation enthalpy Bond dissociation energy of Cl is highest and the order is
Cl2>Br2>F2>I2
1eVatom=1.602×10−22kJmol
This is due to the small size and high electronegativity of F, it suffers inter-electronic repulsion and hence has a low value of bond dissociation enthalpy.
