The correct sequence of bond enthalpy of ‘C – X’ bond is:

  1. CH3 − Cl > CH3 − F > CH3 − Br > CH3 − I
  2. CH3 − F < CH3 − Cl < CH3 − Br < CH3 − I
  3. CH3 − F > CH3 − Cl > CH3 − Br > CH3 − I
  4. CH3 − F < CH3 − Cl > CH3 − Br > CH3 − I

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : CH3 − F > CH3 − Cl > CH3 − Br > CH3 − I

Explanation:-

Bond Enthalpy:

  • Bond enthalpy, sometimes referred to as bond energy, is a number that sheds light on the potency and, consequently, the stability of a chemical bond.
  • The total energy needed to break 1 mole of a chemical bond is known as the bond enthalpy of that chemical bond.
  • The bond strength decreases with increasing atom size, increasing bond length, and decreasing bond dissociation enthalpy.
  • Bond dissociation enthalpy increases as bond multiplicity decrease.
  • The bond dissociation enthalpy decreases as the number of lone pair electrons on the bound atom increases along with the repulsion between the atoms.
  • The number of bonds between two atoms in a molecule or ion's Lewis representation is referred to as the bond order.
  • The bond is more stable, or has a higher bond enthalpy, as the bond order increases.
  • The bond length is shorter the higher the bond order.

 

C – X Bond Bond dissociation
enthalpies/kJ mol-1
CH3 — F 452
CH3 — Cl 351
CH3 — Br 293
CH3 — I 234

Concept:

∴ Bond enthalpy from CH3 – F to CH3 – I decreases
