Problem 19 - Entrance Test

Which of the following has the highest bond dissociation energy?

Correct: B

Bond dissociation energy generally decreases down the halogen group. However, F2 has a lower bond dissociation energy than Cl2 due to the small size and high electron density of fluorine, leading to interelectronic repulsion. Cl2 has the highest bond dissociation energy among the given options.
