Chapter 12, Problem 12.9YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to verify that the O-O single bond is weak by looking up its average value (Table 1-2, p. 10). For comparison, the same is done for an average C-C single bond.

O-O ________________ kJ/mol C-C ________________ kJ/mol

Concept introduction:

Bond energy is the measure of bond strength in a chemical bond. In a compound, the nuclei are bind together by chemical bonds. Two types of fundamental bonds in chemistry are the covalent bond and the ionic bond. The sharing of valence electrons between two atom forms a covalent bond. Both O-O and C-C have covalent bonds. The energy of two atoms changes as a function of the distance between their nuclei.

Table 1-2 lists average bond energies for a variety of common bonding partners found in organic species and contains only single bonds:
