`F_(2)`

B

`Cl_(2)`

C

`I_(2)`

D

`Br_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`Cl_(2)` has highest bond energy. The bond energy of fluorine is lower than that of chlorine and bromine as interelectronic repulsion is very high. That.s why the correct decreasing order of bond energy is as follows:
`Cl_(2)>Br_(2)>F_(2)>I_(2)`
