Which of the following diatomic molecules has the greatest bond energy? A)H₂ B)HCl C)Cl₂ D)CO E)HF

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CO (carbon monoxide) has the greatest bond energy among the options given. This is because CO has a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, which is stronger than the single or double bonds typically found in the other molecules listed. The triple bond results in a higher bond energy, making CO's bond the most difficult to break.
