Question
Chapter 20, Problem 2PS
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the given bonds, the bond that requires more energy to break should be determined.
Concept introduction:
To break bond, energy is always required and energy is released when a bond is made. Bond energy is the measure of bond strength in a chemical bond.it is the amount of energy required to break a bond between two atoms in a diatomic molecule.
When a bond is strong there is higher bond energy because it takes more energy to break a strong bond and if the distance between the atoms in a bond is shorter, then more energy will be required to break that bond.
