Bond strength is the amount of energy needed to break a chemical bond. The concept of bond strength is important for understanding chemical reactions, chemical kinetics and activation energy. Below are tabulated some example bond strengths.[1]
Chemical Bond | Bond Strength (kcals/mole) |
---|---|
C-H | 99 |
C-C1 | 79 |
C-C | 83 |
C-N | 70 |
C-O | 84 |
C=C | 147 |
C=O | 170 |
H-H | 104 |
H-O | 111 |
H-C1 | 103 |
O=O | 118 |
N=N | 226 |
N-H | 66 |
C1-C1 | 58 |
