Bond enthalpies??
First let me try to explain the logic behind the answer. What is bond enthalpy? – Bond enthalpy is simply a measure of the amount of heat energy contained within the bond. It is thus quite useful in telling us which bond is more stable. Certain things can affect the bond enthalpy in a compound. One of the obvious examples is the TYPE of bond (whether its Carbon-Hydrogen or Carbon-Carbon). However, It can also be things like structure of the compound as a whole i.e. whether it is a cyclic structure of just a linear compound. [Cyclic means that the bonds are arranged in a kind of circle, more like a pentagon or hexagon or something like that. Linear is a straight line structure, like a group of people in a conga line – *CONGA!!!!* 😀 ] There is one thing you have to know – enthalpies can be negative OR positive. When negative it means that when the bond breaks, it will RELEASE energy. Positive enthalpy means it will ABSORB energy when breaking. Conclusion: The fact that the C-C bond enth
