Detailed Solution

Bond enthalpy of CH>CC>CCl>ClCl ; ;

Cl-Cl bond is very weak because of the repulsions between lone pairs on adjacent chlorine atoms.

Size of H-atom <  size of C-atom(both these atoms do not possess a lone pair.); 

Bond enthalpy of H-H > C-H > C-C

In general

 Bond enthalpy ∝1size of atoms involved in bonding
