Which of the following has the shortest bond length?A. `Br_2`B. `F_2`C. `Cl_2`D. `I_2`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
All halogen molecules have single bond between the atoms. As we move down the group, the bond length increases on account of increase of atomic size:
`underset((143 p m))(F-F) lt underset((199 p m))(Cl-Cl) lt underset((288p m))(Br-Br) lt underset((266p m))(I-I)`
