The correct sequence of bond enthalpy of 'C-X' bond is :
- ACH3 - Cl > CH3 - F > CH3 - Br > CH3 - l
- BCH3 - F < CH3 - Cl < CH3 - Br < CH3 - l
- CCH3 - F > CH3 - Cl > CH3 - Br > CH3 - l
- DCH3 - F < CH3 - Cl > CH3 - Br > CH3 - l

Correct answer: C
On moving down the group from F to I, the size of atom increases. Order of the size of halogen atoms is I > Br > Cl > F.
So, the bond length of C—X bond also increases from F to I and hence, the bond enthalpy decreases from F to I. Correct order of bond length of C—X bond is
H3C - I > H3C - Br > H3C - Cl > H3C - F.
Correct order of bond enthalpy is
H3C - F > H3C - Cl > CH3 - Br > H3C - I.
