Rank the three bonds, A (carbon-carbon), B (oxygen-hydrogen) and C (carbon-
hydrogen) indicated by the arrows in the structure below in order of increasing bond
dissociation energy (not all H atoms are included in the line-angle structure).
Hint: Comparing C-H and O-H the difference is electronegativity, comparing C-H and C-
C is the difference in atomic size.
A
H3C.
