Which one of the following statements is incorrect ?
Options
- AAtomic hydrogen is produced when H 2 molecules at a high temperature are irradiated with UV radiation.
- BAt around 2000   K , the dissociation of dihydrogen into its atoms is nearly 8 . 1 %
- CBond dissociation enthalpy of H 2 is highest among diatomic gaseous molecules which contain a single bond.
- DDihydrogen is produced on reacting zinc with HCl as well as NaOH ( aq ) . .
Correct answer
B. At around 2000   K , the dissociation of dihydrogen into its atoms is nearly 8 . 1 %
Step-by-step solution
Atomic hydrogen is produced at high temperature in an electric arc or under ultraviolet radiations. The dissociation of dihydrogen at 2000 K is only 0.081%. H–H bond dissociation enthalpy is highest for a single bond for any diatomic molecule. Dihydrogen can be produced on reacting Zn with dil. HCl as well as NaOH (aq.).
