Covalent bond in terms of Energy
• Bonds result from the tendency of a system to seek its lowest possible energy.
• 1652 kJ of energy is required to to dissociate a
mole CH4 into separate C and H atoms
– CH4 is lower in energy (more stable) – 1652 kJ/mole more stable

Fundamental Properties of Models
1. A model does not equal reality.
2. Models are oversimplifications, and are therefore often wrong.
3. Models become more complicated and are modified as they age.
4. We must understand the underlying
assumptions in a model so that we don’t misuse it.

Covalent Bond Energies and Chemical Reactions
Bond Energies
• To break bonds, energy must be added to the
system (endothermic).
• To form bonds, energy is released (exothermic).
• We can calculate ΔH as the sum of the energies
required to break old bonds minus the sum of the energies released in the formation of new bonds
ΔH = Σn×D (bonds broken) – Σn×D (bonds formed)
