Chlorine and bromine are in the same group in the periodic table. The bond energy of a Cl–Cl bond is 240 kJ/mol. The bond energy of a Br–Br bond is 190 kJ/mol. Which statement best explains this difference?
Bromine has more electron levels than chlorine.
Bromine atoms are more likely than chlorine atoms to interact with other atoms.
Chlorine atoms form a double bond, and bromine atoms form a single bond.
Chlorine atoms are larger than bromine atoms.
Bond dissociation energies are often measured by determining the wavelength of ultraviolet photons needed to cause a covalent bond between two atoms to break. A single photon absorbed by a molecule will cause the bond to break between two atoms. If a bond dissociation energy is 450 kJ/mole, what wavelength of photon, in nm, will cause the bond to break?
How many valence electrons are in I?
