Answer: Values of measured bond energies may vary greatly
Chapter 14, Problem 14.81(choose chapter or problem)
Values of measured bond energies may vary greatly depending on the molecule studied. Consider the following reactions: NCl3(g) 88n NCl2(g) 1 Cl(g) DH 5 375 kJ/mol ONCl(g) 88n NO(g) 1 Cl(g) DH 5 158 kJ/mol Rationalize the difference in the values of DH for these reactions, even though each reaction appears to involve the breaking of only one NOCl bond. (Hint: Consider the bond order of the NO bond in ONCl and in NO.)
