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 of the bond dissociation energies of the four `C-H` bonds.
