If the reaction 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2 is endothermic, which bonds are the strongest?
Alika [10]
  • Endothermic reaction means the reactant side takes heat from surrounding and get decomposed i.e ∆H=-ve
  • If the equation is exothermic then it means the reactant is happy to decompose .But it's not as it's endothermic

Now

  • HgO is Omitted from our solution option.

Hg is a atom so no bonds hence no bond strength occurs.

  • O_2 is a molecule and so it's our answer .
