Question

Which bond from each set has the greatest bond energy and why?. A.) N-O or N-F. B.) B-F or B-Cl. C.) B-C or O-F. D.) C-O or C=O. E.) P-Br or P-Cl

Answer 1

Bond energy is basically how much energy it takes to break that molecule apart. The main things that affect bond energy is electronegativity and the number of bonds. I believe the correct answer is C=O. It has the greatest bond energy, because it is harder to break apart a double bond than a single bond.
