Q. Which of the following has the highest bond energy ?

The p-Block Elements - Part2

Solution:

Bond energy of Fluorine (although $F_2$ has smallest bond length) is lesser 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 38 57 45.5 35.5
energy (kcal/mol)
So chlorine has highest bond energy.
