(a)
Interpretation:
The order of the molecules according to their heat of formation is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Heat of formation is the energy which is required to give a molecule to form the structure. Stability of the structures is dependent upon the energy released during the formation of a structure. When energy released in a molecule is more than the energy given then the structure is said to be stable. If energy given is more than the energy released then the structure is said to be unstable.
