Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics

If enthalpy of atomisation for Br2(I)Br_{2(I)} is xkJ/molx \,kJ/mol and bond enthalpy for Br2Br_2 is ykj/moly\, kj/mol, the relation between them :

A

is x<yx < y

B

does not exist

C

is x>yx > y

D

is x=yx = y

Answer

is x>yx > y

Explanation

Solution

Enthalpy of atomisation of Br2(l)Br_{2}\left(l\right) ΔHatoms=ΔHvap+ΔHBE\Delta H_{atoms}=\Delta H_{vap}+\Delta H_{BE} x=ΔHvap+yx=\Delta H_{vap}+y so,x>yso,\, x>\, y
