The correct order of bond enthalpy of given molecules is

The correct order of bond enthalpy of given molecules is
  1. $\mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{H}_2$
  2. $\mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{H}_2$
  3. $\mathrm{H}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2$
  4. $\mathrm{H}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2$

Solution

The correct order of bond enthalpy $=\mathrm{H}_2 < \mathrm{O}_2 < \mathrm{N}_2$ This is due to increasing bond strength due to single, double and triple bonds respectively $(\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{O}=\mathrm{O}, \mathrm{N} \equiv$ N).
