Question

Bond dissociation enthalpy of fluorine is very low explain why

Answer 1

Answer:

Fluorine (F2), Chlorine (Cl2) and Bromine (Br2), all have three lone pair of electrons on each atom of Fluorine, chlorine and Bromine atoms. ... Due to this repulsion between the electrons both the atoms want to move apart. Hence the bond can be cleaved easily and the bond dissociation energy is less.
