The correct statement about the bond energies of nitrogen, iodine, and fluorine gases is:
**The bond in nitrogen gas is the most difficult to break.**
Nitrogen gas (N₂) has a triple bond, which is one of the strongest types of covalent bonds, resulting in a high bond dissociation energy. In contrast, iodine gas (I₂) has a relatively weak single bond, and fluorine gas (F₂) has a single bond that is stronger than iodine's but weaker than nitrogen's triple bond.
