If enthalpy of atomization for B r 2 ( l ) is x k J / m o l and bond enthalpy for B r 2 is y k J / m o l , the relation between them
Options
- Ais x = y .
- Bdoes not exist.
- Cis x > y .
- Dis x < y .
Correct answer
C. is x > y .
Step-by-step solution
∆ H atomisation = ∆ H Vap + Bond   E nergy Hence x > y Enthalpy of atomization is enthalpy change involved when one mole of gaseous atom is formed from a substance in an elemental state (Elemental state of Bromine is Br 2 ( l ) ). While, bond energy is energy required to break one mole of bonds in gaseous state to form separated atoms.
