Carbon average bond energy

The view has also existed in the past that the carbon-silicon bond should be similar in behaviour to the carbon-carbon bond and would have a similar average bond energy. There is some measure of truth in the assumption about average bond energy but because silicon is more electropositive than carbon the C—Si bond will be polar and its properties will be very dependent on the nature of groups attached to the carbon and silicon groups. For example, the CH3—Si group is particularly resistant to oxidation but H13—Si is not. 

C06-0129. Use average bond energies (see Table 6-2) to estimate the net energy change per mole of silicon for the conversion of a silicon chain into an Si—O—Si chain. Repeat this calculation to estimate the net energy change per mole of carbon for the conversion of a carbon chain into a C—O—C chain.

Baughan (Nature, 1941, 147, 542) has suggested that this value for the average bond energy is in error on account of the use of too low a value for the heat of sublimation of carbon. Herzberg supports the earlier view in J. Chem. Physics, 1942, 10, 306.

The bonding in silicon carbide is essentially covalent. These covalent bonds are strong since both atoms are small, the bond length is short, and four of the six electrons of carbon and four of the fourteen electrons of silicon form bonds. The average bond energy is estimated at 300 kJ/mol.Pl The bonding in silicon carbide is also ionic. As mentioned in Ch. 2, an ionic bond results from the transfer of valence electrons between two... 

The carbon-nitrogen bond is a strong link of average bond energy 75 kcal/mole. There are, of course, many examples in which homolytic cleavage of this bond may be effected under relatively mild conditions. Diazenes (azo compounds) comprise a well-documented example ( ) Decomposition of diazenes affords dinitrogen and radicals. The question of whether the rate-... 

We cannot usually find the value of bond energies directly so we have to use an enthalpy cycle. The average bond energy of the C—H bond in methane can be found using the enthalpy changes of atomisation of carbon and hydrogen and the enthalpy change of combustion or formation of methane. 

Thermochemistry. Thermodynamic considerations ate of utmost importance in fluorinations. Table 1 is based on JANAF data (25) for CH, which indicate an average carbon-hydrogen bond strength of 410.0 kj/mol (98 kcal/mol) based on the atomization energy of CH. ...
