Bond strength is inversibly related to bond energy? - TPR

Is this true?

i don't think it's inverse.

let's look at a A-B bond and B-C bond.

A-B bond is stronger than B-C.

so it should take more energy to break A-B bond than B-C.

Is this true?

Since bond energy is the energy needed to break a bond, it seems that they should be directly proportional.

Oh Princeton Review....
Thanks guys.

 

[wrathofgod64]

maybe u misread it and TPR meant bond length is inversely related to bond energy

I think that is right isn't it?

Bond strength is inversely related to bond energy:

Something that is low in energy is very stable. Stable = strong bond

Think about what constitutes a high energy bond and that will provide the solution. Like the previous post said a bond that is low in energy like carbon carbon bond are strong while a high energy bonds like the 2nd and 3rd phosphates on adenosine triphospate are high energy bonds and very weak. The solution is they are inversely proportional.
