Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The strength of a bond between atoms in a molecule generally decreases as the size of the atoms increases. In the given options, fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), and iodine (I) are halogens in increasing order of atomic size. Therefore, the bond between carbon (C) and iodine (I) in option D is the weakest due to the larger size of the iodine atom compared to fluorine, chlorine, and bromine.
