According to V.B.T. a covalent bond is formed by the overlapping of half filled atomic orbitals with electron spinning in the opposite direction. The strength of a bond depends on extent of overlapping. Double bond energy is not twice that of single bond energy because a double bond is made up of a weak a bond and strong o bond. More energy is required to break the bond between the carbon atoms in

(A): C - C bond energy is less than that of H - H bond energy, but carbon exhibit catenation, where as Hydrogen does not (R): Hydrogen is monovalent where as carbon is tetra valent.

Bond energy : Energy required to break a bond (equal to the energy released when a bond is formed) is named bond energy. Its unit is Kcal/mole. Stability of bond energy 00 % s character oo(1)/(% "P character")oo "bond order" oo(1)/("bond length") Higher is the number of bonds at a place, higher is the bond energy. Write down bond energy order of C- H bond in (A) -C- H, (B) = C-H, (C) = C - H
