Study Notes

Bond Dissociation Enthalpy Definition

Bond dissociation enthalpy (energy) is the energy required to break one mole of gaseous bonds to form gaseous atoms.

Key Characteristics

Endothermic Process: Breaking a chemical bond requires energy input.
Bond Strength Variation: Bond strength varies depending on the surrounding atoms/molecules; thus, average values are used.
Making Bonds is Exothermic: Forming a bond releases energy, the opposite of breaking a bond.
Diatomic Gases: For diatomic gases, bond enthalpy is twice the enthalpy of atomisation.
Bond Strength Correlation: Smaller bond enthalpy indicates a weaker bond, making it easier to break.
Values: Bond dissociation enthalpy values are endothermic. Energy must be input to break any chemical bond. For example, breaking Cl₂ (g) into 2Cl (g) requires energy input.
