The bond dissociation energy of the Cl - Cl bond is -958 kJ mol^-1.
<h3>What is the dissociation enthalpy?</h3>
Given that;
H-H bond energy = 435 kJ mol^-1
H-Cl bond energy = 431 kJ mol^-1
ΔHfO of HCL(g) = -92kJ mol^-1
Bond dissociation enthalpy of the Cl-Cl bond = x
-92 = 435 + 431 + x
x = -92 - (435 + 431)
x = -958 kJ mol^-1

A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding between two non-metals, whereas ionic bonding is a bond between a metal and a non-metal.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
Compound. Option A is correct
<h2>Explanations:</h2>
When two or more different elements combines, a compound is formed. For instance, if carbon and oxygen combines, carbondioxide is formed according to the equation;

From the reaction, carbon and oxygen are the elements while carbondioxide is the compound. Hence we can conclude that a pure substance formed when two or more different elements combine called compound.
