Question

13) The average C−C bond dissociation energy (D) is 350 kJ/mol and the average C=C bond dissociation energy is 728 kJ/mol. Based on these values, which is stronger: a σ or a π bond?

378
π
965
weaker
O
265
stronger
28
1078
Using the data here, the difference in energy between a carbon-carbon double bond and a carbon-
carbon single bond is
kJ/mol. This value represents the energy of a
bond. From this data, a π bond is
than a o bond.
However, numerous other sources list the average carbon-carbon double bond energy as
approximately 615 kJ/mol. This would lead to the difference in energy between a carbon-carbon
double bond and a carbon-carbon single bond of
kJ/mol. From this data, a π bond is
than a o bond.
