The equation that represents standard enthalpy of atomization of hydrogen is:

Correct answer: C. Option C

  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation

Standard enthalpy of atomization is the enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a sample is dissociated into its atoms under standard conditions. All bonds in the compound are broken in atomization and none are formed, so enthalpies of atomization are always positive (endothermic). For example, the standard enthalpy of atomization of hydrogen is given below.
