Question
At 1 atm will the $\Delta_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}$ be zero for $\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{g})$ and $\mathrm{Br}_2(\mathrm{g})$ ? Explain.

Answer

$\Delta_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}$ for $\mathrm{Cl}_2(\mathrm{g})$ will be zero but $\Delta_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{H}^{\circ}$ for $\mathrm{Br}_2(\mathrm{g})$ will not be zero because liquid bromine is its elementary state and not gaseous bromine.
