Bond energy: I. is the energy required to break a bond between two atoms in a diatomic molecule II. Is taken as the energy released in forming a bond form free atoms III. Is the measure of the strength of bond.

Correct answer: E. I, II and III

  • A. I only
  • B. I and II only
  • C. I and IIII only
  • D. II only
  • E. I, II and III

Explanation

When a bond is formed between two atoms, energy is released. The same amount of energy is absorbed when the bond is broken to form neutral atoms. So, the bond energy is the average amount of energy required to break all bonds of a particular type in one mole of the substance. It is determined experimentally, by measuring the heat involved in a chemical reaction. It is also called bond enthalpy, as it is a measure of enthalpy change at 298 K.

About Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
