Which statement about the bond energies of nitrogen, iodine, and fluorine gases is correct?(1 point)

Fluorine gas and nitrogen gas have similar bond energies.
The bond in nitrogen gas is the most difficult to break.
The atoms in fluorine gas are held together by a triple bond.
Iodine gas has the highest bond energy.

The correct statement is: The bond in nitrogen gas is the most difficult to break.

Nitrogen gas (N2) has a triple bond, which means it requires a significant amount of energy to break. This gives nitrogen gas a very high bond energy compared to other diatomic gases like fluorine (F2) and iodine (I2), which have weaker single bonds.
