1.

Which of the following has the highest bond energy?A. FluorineB. BromineC. IodineD. Chlorine.

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Bond energy of Fluorine (although `F_2` has smallest bond length) is less than `Cl_2 and Br_2` due to greater interelectronic repulsions between the lone pair of electrons on F atom
`{:("Halogen",F-F, Cl-Cl, Br-Br,I-I),("Bond dissociation energy (kcal/mol)",38,57,45.5,35.5):}`
So chlorine has highest bond energy.
