The correct answer is: is x>y.


Hatomisation=HVap+Bond Energy
Hence x>y

Enthalpy of atomization is enthalpy change involved when one mole of gaseous atom is formed from a substance in an elemental state (Elemental state of Bromine is Br2(l)).

While, bond energy is energy required to break one mole of bonds in gaseous state to form separated atoms.
