bond energy
energy required to break a particular covalent bond in one mole of molecule in a gaseous state
bond enthalpy decreases
down the group because the distance between the nucleus and the bonding electron pair increases, the bonding electrons will be less attracted an need less energy to break the bond
the bond enthalpy of flourine is exceptionally low because
F2 is a small molecule with six lone pairs of electrons. the repulsion created between the electrons reduces the energy required to break the covalent bond
