The correct Answer is:
To determine which bond has less bond dissociation energy between the pairs given, we need to analyze the structures and the stability of the resulting radicals after the bond is broken. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Bonds**: - The first bond to consider is in propylene (CH₃-C≡CH) which has a carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C). - The second bond is in acetylene (HC≡CH), which also has a carbon-carbon triple bond. 2. **Understand Bond Dissociation Energy**: - Bond dissociation energy (BDE) is the energy required to break a bond in a molecule. A lower BDE indicates that the bond is weaker and can be broken more easily. 3. **Analyze Hybridization**: - In both cases, the carbon atoms involved in the triple bonds are sp hybridized. However, the surrounding groups differ. - In propylene, one carbon is bonded to a methyl group (CH₃) which can donate electron density, while in acetylene, both carbons are bonded to hydrogen atoms. 4. **Consider Stability of Radicals**: - When the bond is broken, we form radicals. In propylene, breaking the bond leads to a radical that is stabilized by the adjacent methyl group through hyperconjugation and inductive effects. - In acetylene, the resulting radicals are less stabilized because they are only adjacent to hydrogen atoms, which do not provide the same level of stabilization. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the radical formed from propylene (CH₃-C≡CH) is more stable due to the presence of the methyl group, the bond in propylene has a lower bond dissociation energy compared to the bond in acetylene (HC≡CH), which is less stabilized. ### Final Answer: The bond in propylene (CH₃-C≡CH) has less bond dissociation energy compared to the bond in acetylene (HC≡CH). ---
