1.

hich of the following bonds has the highest bondenergy?(2) O-o(3) Se-Se(4) Te-Te

Answer»

The answer is S-S bond, it is because sulphur forms stronger covalent bond than Se and Te and the S-S bond is stabilized bypπ-dπbonding which is absent in O-O (due to absence of d-orbtals) and less effective in Se and Te due to full filled d-orbitals.

Also, the non bonding electron pair of O-O bonds have strong repulsion which makes it weak in comparison with S-S bond.

So, the S-S bond has highest bond energy.
