Is the bond energy of all the four `C- H` bonds in `CH_4` molecule equal? If not then why? How is the bond energy then reported?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No because after breaking of C–H bonds one by one, the electronic environments change. The reported value is the average value of the bond dissociation energies of the four C–H bonds.
