Bond Strength/Bond Energy

In chemistry, bond energy is the measure of bond strength in a chemical bond. This energy is required to break a single bond for a mole of a specific substance. The bond energy can be directly related to the bond length (or called bond distance). Most bond energies are in the range between 100 and 1000 kJ/mol. The bond energy should not be confused with bond-dissociation energy. Table 1823a lists the range of bond energies for different bondings, and Table 1823b lists the strengths of some diatomic bonds. Strong bond are > 800 kJ/mo, while weak bonds are < 200 kJ/mol.
