EASY
Which one of the following orders is correct for the bond dissociation enthalpy of halogen molecules?
EASY
Why is F2 the strongest oxidizing agent (among halogens) although electron affinity of Cl2 is higher than F2?
HARD
Which of the following facts related to halogens is not correctly matched ?
MEDIUM
The increasing order of the atomic radii of the following elements is:
aC
bO
cF
dCl
eBr
EASY

Assertion (A) : The bond dissociation energy increases from F2 to Cl2 and then decreases to I2

Reason (R) : The low bond energy of fluorine is due to the repulsion between the lone pairs of electrons in two fluorine atoms.
The correct option among the following is
