The Cl-Cl Bond Energy Is 243 KJ/mol

The Cl-Cl bond energy is 243 kJ/mol.Therefore the formation of a single bond between chlorine atoms

A) should require the absorption of 243 kJ per mole of Cl₂ formed.
B) should require the absorption of 486 kJ per mole of Cl₂ formed.
C) should result in the release of 243 kJ per mole of Cl₂ formed.
D) should result in the release of 486 kJ per mole of Cl₂ formed.
