Detailed Solution
Bond lengths of halogens are in the order : F2 < Cl2 < Br2 Bond energies are expected in the order : F2 > Cl2 > Br2But the experimental bond enthalpies are :Cl2 > Br2 > F2, Bond enthalpy of F2 is very less, because lone pair - lone pair repulsions are appreciable in F2 as the bond length is small in F2.
