    Which one of the following orders is correct for the bond dissociation enthalpy of halogen molecules? [NEET - 2016]

    A) \[{{I}_{2}}>\text{ }B{{r}_{2}}>\text{ }C{{l}_{2}}>{{F}_{2}}\]

    B) \[C{{l}_{2}}>\text{ }B{{r}_{2}}>\text{ }{{F}_{2}}>\text{ }{{I}_{2}}\]

    C) \[B{{r}_{2}}>\text{ }{{I}_{2}}>\text{ }{{F}_{2}}>\text{ }C{{l}_{2}}\]

    D) \[{{F}_{2}}>\text{ }C{{l}_{2}}>\text{ }B{{r}_{2}}>\text{ }{{I}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[C{{\ell }_{2}}>B{{r}_{2}}\underset{\text{due to high }{{\ell }_{p}}-{{\ell }_{p}}\text{ repulstion}}{\mathop{\underset{\downarrow }{\mathop{>{{F}_{2}}>{{I}_{2}}}}\,}}\,\]
