Arrange the following bonds according to their
average bond energies in descending order :
C–Cl, C–Br, C–F, C–I
Solution
Bond length order in carbon halogen bonds are
<br><br>in the order of C – F $<$ C – Cl $<$ C – Br $<$ C – I
<br><br>Hence, Bond energy order
<br><br>C – F $>$ C – Cl $>$ C – Br $>$ C – I
