Bond dissociation energies are often measured by determining the wavelength of ultraviolet photons needed to cause a covalent bond between two atoms to break. A single photon absorbed by a molecule will cause the bond to break between two atoms. If a bond dissociation energy is 450 kJ/mole, what wavelength of photon, in nm, will cause the bond to break?
Carbon-carbon bonds form the “backbone” of nearly everyorganic and biological molecule. The average bond energy of the C−C bond is 347 kJ/mol. Calculate the frequency and wave-length of the least energetic photon that can break an average C−C bond. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation?
5. The reason there is danger in exposure to high-energy radiation (e.g., ultraviolet and X rays)
is that the radiation can rupture chemical bonds. In some cases, cancer can be caused it. A
carbon-carbon single bond has a bond energy of approximately 348 kJ per mole. What
wavelength of light is required to provide sufficient energy to break the C-C bond? In which
region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this wavelength located?
