NEETChemistryThermodynamics (C)
What is bond dissociation enthalpy?
Options
- AThe enthalpy changes when two atoms combine to form a molecule.
- BThe enthalpy changes when one mole of covalent bonds in a gaseous covalent compound is broken to form products
- CThe enthalpy change when a solid substance sublimes at a constant temperature and under standard pressure.
- DThe enthalpy change when a substance is heated at constant volume.
Correct answer
B. The enthalpy changes when one mole of covalent bonds in a gaseous covalent compound is broken to form products
Step-by-step solution
Bond dissociation enthalpy specifically refers to the energy required to break one mole of covalent bonds in a gaseous covalent compound to form products in the gas phase.
