Chemistry Question on Chemical bonding and molecular structure
The amount of energy required to break a bond is the same as the amount of energy released when the same bond is formed. In a gaseous state, the energy required for homolytic cleavage of a bond is called Bond Dissociation Energy (BDE) or Bond Strength. BDE is affected by the s-character of the bond and the stability of the radicals formed. Shorter bonds are typically stronger bonds. BDEs for some bonds are given below:
