Some facts#

  • Chemical bond energy is the amount of work that should be done to separate the molecule AB into single atoms to the distance of infinity.
  • The energy of chemical bonding is given most often in kilojoules per mole :
    kJmol\dfrac{kJ}{mol}
  • Knowing the energies of bonds present in products and substrates, we can estimate the enthalpy of the chemical reaction:
    Δh=nprod,iHprod,insubs,iHsubst,i\Delta h = \sum{n_{prod,i} H_{prod,i}} - \sum{n_{subs,i} H_{subst,i}}
    where:
    • Δh\Delta h - change of enthalpy during the reaction, we assume that the reaction is the breakdown of bonds in substrates and the formation of new bonds in products,
    • nprod,in_{prod,i} - number of moles of the i-th product,
    • Hprod,iH_{prod,i} - enthalpy of the i-th product,
    • nsubst,in_{subst,i} - number of moles of the i-th substrate,
    • Hsubst,iH_{subst,i} - enthalpy of the i-th substrate.
  • Higher energy corresponds to shorter bond. However, there is no simple relationship that allows to convert the bond length into energy or vice versa.
  • Bond energy is a measure of its strength. The higher is the bond energy, the more work you have to do to break it.
  • The bond energy increases with its multiplicity. A double bond between the same pair of atoms will have a higher energy than the analogous single bond.
