Bond energy definition

Energy to break 1 mole of a bond in gaseous molecule

Units of bond energy

kJ mol1\text{kJ mol}^{-1}

Sign of bond energy value

Always positive

Why is bond energy always positive?

Breaking bonds requires energy input

Bond breaking process type

Endothermic

Bond making process type

Exothermic

ΔH\Delta H formula from bond energies

Energy to break bonds - energy released forming bonds

Condition for exothermic reaction

More energy released forming bonds than breaking them

Condition for endothermic reaction

More energy to break bonds than released forming them

Effect of higher bond energy

More stable and less reactive compound
