The correct sequence of bond enthalpy of 'C–X' bond is:

The correct sequence of bond enthalpy of 'C–X' bond is:
A $CH_3-F>CH_3-Cl>CH_3-Br>CH_3-I$
B $CH_3-FCH_3-Br>CH_3-I$
C $CH_3-Cl>CH_3-F>CH_3-Br>CH_3-I$
D $CH_3-F<CH_3-Cl<CH_3-Br<CH_3-I$

Detailed Solution

As the size of the halogen increases from F to I, the C–X bond length increases and the bond enthalpy decreases. Correct sequence: $CH_3-F > CH_3-Cl > CH_3-Br > CH_3-I$
