Bond Dissociation Enthalpies

Bond dissociation enthalpies

Bond Dissociation Enthalpies EH(A-B)

 

Average bond dissociation enthalpies (energies) for bonds A-B at 298 K and 1 atm pressure are given. The enthalpy of each bond is the mean bond dissociation enthalpy, or simply the bond enthalpy EH(A-B). This is the average value of bond dissociation enthalpies of the A-B bond in a series of different compounds.

A standard enthalpies of formation table can be found in the post "Standard Enthalpies of Formation of Inorganic Compounds".
