Q. Match the bond enthalpies given in column II with the molecules given in column I and mark the appropriate choice.
Column $I$ Colum $I I$
(A) Hydrogen $(H_2)$ (i) $498.0\, kJ\,mol^-1 $
(B) Oxygen $(0_2) $ (ii) $946.0 \,kJ \,mol^-1$
(C) Nitrogen $(N_2)$ (iii) $ 435.8\, kJ\, mol^-$

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

The order of bond enthalpies of the bonds is given as, Bond order$\propto$ Bond enthalpy
Hence, single bond enthalpy < double bond enthalpy < triple bond enthalpy
$H — H < O = O < N \equiv N$
