Question

Which statement is wrong:

• A. Bond energy of $F_2>Cl_2$
• B. Electronegativity of $F>Cl$
• C. $F$ is more oxidising than $Cl$
• D. Electron affinity of $Cl>F$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Bond energy of $F_2>Cl_2$

Answer 2

The statement "Bond energy of $F_2>Cl_2$" is incorrect. The bond energy of $F_2$ is lower than that of $Cl_2$ because fluorine forms a stronger bond due to its higher electronegativity.

So, the correct option is (A): Bond energy of $F_2>Cl_2$
