Please help me with this. It asked you to determine the heat change in the reaction CH4+Cl2-> CH3Cl + HCl
You were given the bond energy of C-H= 414 kj/mol C-Cl= 244 kj/mol And the bond energy of H-Cl= 431 kj/mol
How do you find the bond energy of CH3Cl then?​

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
