Dissociation energies, of halogens

Table 9.4 Bond Dissociation Energies of Halogen Compounds (kcal mole-1)0...

The bond dissociation energies of chlorine, bromine, and iodine have been known for a long time. In Linus Pauling s classical book The Nature of the Chemical Bond (1948), the bond dissociation energies of halogens are listed as 57.8, 46.1, and 36.2 kcal/mol (242, 193, and 152 kJ) for chlorine, bromine, and iodine, respectively. What is the bond dissociation energy of fluorine ...
