About Bond Energy

Bond energy is the energy needed to break one mole of a particular covalent bond in gaseous molecules, while bond formation releases energy. Reaction enthalpy is estimated by subtracting the total energy of bonds formed from bonds broken, with attention to average bond energies and their limitations for specific molecules.
