iv, 49 p.In this paper a revision of bond energies was undertaken. Bond
energy is the average energy required to break the type of bond in
question. For a molecule of only two kinds of atoms, as an example,
and only one kind of bond, the bond energy for that particular type of
bond could be calculated by dividing the heat of atomization for the
molecule by the number of bonds. This method for calculating bond
energies makes use of thermochemicai data. Another way to obtain bond
energies is by spectroscopic methods. The thermochemical method was used
in this paper
