Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which bond would take the most energy to break?
A
Single
B
Double
C
Triple
D
all are the same
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the case of covalent molecules, more is the sharing of electrons between the atoms; stronger is: a single bond 2 electrons are shared, in a manner, 4 in double bond and 6 in a triple bond. Therefore, a triple bond is the strongest and most difficult to break.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stronger bonds require more energy to break. The largest bond energy value in the table is 942 kilojoules per mole, which is the bond energy of the nitrogen-to-nitrogen triple bond. In general, triple bonds are stronger and require more energy to break than double bonds and single bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence F-F bond requires higher amount of energy to break the bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -They consist of two atoms sharing a stubborn triple bond, which chemists can break up only by scorching them with temperatures of up to 500°C. And that results in the simple chemical ammonia, which needs further processing to produce more complicated compounds.

Detailed explanation-5: -A double or triple bond is stronger than a single bond because it holds the atoms closer together and makes it more difficult to break. So, a double bond requires more energy to break the bonds as compared to a single bond.
