Which bond requires more energy to break?

Bond Strength: Covalent Bonds The stronger a bond, the greater the energy required to break it. The average C–H bond energy, DC – H, is 1660/4 = 415 kJ/mol because there are four moles of C–H bonds broken per mole of the reaction.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:

A bond’s strength describes how strongly each atom is joined to another atom, and therefore how much energy is required to break the bond between the two atoms. In this section, you will learn about the bond strength of covalent bonds, and then compare that to the strength of ionic bonds, which is related to the lattice energy of a compound.

Bond Strength: Covalent Bonds

Stable molecules exist because covalent bonds hold the atoms together. We measure the strength of a covalent bond by the energy required to break it, that is, the energy necessary to separate the bonded atoms. Separating any pair of bonded atoms requires energy (see Figure 7.4). The stronger a bond, the greater the energy required to break it. The energy required to break a specific covalent bond in one mole of gaseous molecules is called the bond energy or the bond dissociation energy. The bond energy for a diatomic molecule, D X–Y , is defined as the standard enthalpy change for the endothermic reaction: XY ( g ) ⟶ X ( g ) + Y ( g ) D X−Y = Δ H ° XY ( g ) ⟶ X ( g ) + Y ( g ) D X−Y = Δ H ° For example, the bond energy of the pure covalent H–H bond, D H–H , is 436 kJ per mole of H–H bonds broken: H 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 H ( g ) D H−H = Δ H ° = 436 kJ H 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 H ( g ) D H−H = Δ H ° = 436 kJ Molecules with three or more atoms have two or more bonds. The sum of all bond energies in such a molecule is equal to the standard enthalpy change for the endothermic reaction that breaks all the bonds in the molecule. For example, the sum of the four C–H bond energies in CH 4 , 1660 kJ, is equal to the standard enthalpy change of the reaction: The average C–H bond energy, D C–H , is 1660/4 = 415 kJ/mol because there are four moles of C–H bonds broken per mole of the reaction. Although the four C–H bonds are equivalent in the original molecule, they do not each require the same energy to break; once the first bond is broken (which requires 439 kJ/mol), the remaining bonds are easier to break. The 415 kJ/mol value is the average, not the exact value required to break any one bond. The strength of a bond between two atoms increases as the number of electron pairs in the bond increases. Generally, as the bond strength increases, the bond length decreases. Thus, we find that triple bonds are stronger and shorter than double bonds between the same two atoms; likewise, double bonds are stronger and shorter than single bonds between the same two atoms. Average bond energies for some common bonds appear in Table 7.2, and a comparison of bond lengths and bond strengths for some common bonds appears in Table 7.3. When one atom bonds to various atoms in a group, the bond strength typically decreases as we move down the group. For example, C–F is 439 kJ/mol, C–Cl is 330 kJ/mol, and C–Br is 275 kJ/mol.

Calculations of this type will also tell us whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. An exothermic reaction (ΔH negative, heat produced) results when the bonds in the products are stronger than the bonds in the reactants. An endothermic reaction (ΔH positive, heat absorbed) results when the bonds in the products are weaker than those in the reactants. The enthalpy change, ΔH, for a chemical reaction is approximately equal to the sum of the energy required to break all bonds in the reactants (energy “in”, positive sign) plus the energy released when all bonds are formed in the products (energy “out,” negative sign). This can be expressed mathematically in the following way: Δ H = ƩD bonds broken − ƩD bonds formed Δ H = ƩD bonds broken − ƩD bonds formed In this expression, the symbol Ʃ means “the sum of” and D represents the bond energy in kilojoules per mole, which is always a positive number. The bond energy is obtained from a table (like Table 7.3) and will depend on whether the particular bond is a single, double, or triple bond. Thus, in calculating enthalpies in this manner, it is important that we consider the bonding in all reactants and products. Because D values are typically averages for one type of bond in many different molecules, this calculation provides a rough estimate, not an exact value, for the enthalpy of reaction.

H 2 ( g ) + Cl 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 HCl ( g ) H 2 ( g ) + Cl 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 HCl ( g )

or

H–H ( g ) + Cl–Cl ( g ) ⟶ 2 H–Cl ( g ) H–H ( g ) + Cl–Cl ( g ) ⟶ 2 H–Cl ( g ) To form two moles of HCl, one mole of H–H bonds and one mole of Cl–Cl bonds must be broken. The energy required to break these bonds is the sum of the bond energy of the H–H bond (436 kJ/mol) and the Cl–Cl bond (243 kJ/mol). During the reaction, two moles of H–Cl bonds are formed (bond energy = 432 kJ/mol), releasing 2 × × 432 kJ; or 864 kJ. Because the bonds in the products are stronger than those in the reactants, the reaction releases more energy than it consumes: Δ H = ƩD bonds broken − ƩD bonds formed Δ H = [ D H−H + D Cl−Cl ] − 2 D H−Cl = [ 436 + 243 ] − 2 ( 432 ) = −185 kJ Δ H = ƩD bonds broken − ƩD bonds formed Δ H = [ D H−H + D Cl−Cl ] − 2 D H−Cl = [ 436 + 243 ] − 2 ( 432 ) = −185 kJ This excess energy is released as heat, so the reaction is exothermic. Appendix G gives a value for the standard molar enthalpy of formation of HCl(g), Δ H f ° , Δ H f ° , of –92.307 kJ/mol. Twice that value is –184.6 kJ, which agrees well with the answer obtained earlier for the formation of two moles of HCl.
