The energy of the c-c bond is 347 kj/mol, and that of the cl-cl bond is 243 kj/mol. which of the following values might you expect for the c-cl bond energy? explain.
a) 590 kj/mol (sum of the values given)
b) 104 kj/mol (difference of the values given)
c) 295 kj/mol (average of the values given)
d) 339 kj/mol (greater than the average of the values given)

D) 339 kJ/mol (greater than the average of the values given)

Explanation:

The bond energy is the measure of bond strength in a chemical bond.

Both C-C and Cl-Cl bond are non-polar chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule, for that reason are strong bonds. Carbon can form 3 additional bonds giving an additional bond strength.

The C-Cl bond is a bond that satisfy octet rule but is a polar bond that gives an additional strength bond. For that reason it is possible to expect for the C-Cl bond energy:

D) 339 kJ/mol (greater than the average of the values given)

I hope it helps!

the atomic number will stay the same no matter how many electrons it has, so it doesn’t decrease nor increase. it’ll only change with a different number of protons
