Question: Which of the following has the lowest bond energy?

Options:

  1. N2
  2. O2
  3. F2
  4. Cl2

Correct Answer: F2

Solution:

F2 has the lowest bond energy due to the repulsion between the lone pairs on the fluorine atoms.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following has the lowest bond energy?
  • Step 1: Understand what bond energy means. Bond energy is the amount of energy needed to break a bond between two atoms.
  • Step 2: Identify the molecules being compared. In this case, we are looking at F2 (fluorine gas).
  • Step 3: Know that F2 consists of two fluorine atoms bonded together.
  • Step 4: Recognize that each fluorine atom has three lone pairs of electrons.
  • Step 5: Understand that these lone pairs can repel each other, which weakens the bond between the two fluorine atoms.
  • Step 6: Conclude that because of this repulsion, F2 has a lower bond energy compared to other molecules that do not have this issue.
