Abstract
The spectroscopical dissociation scheme of CO gives for the heat of sublimation of carbon into 5S carbon atoms Lc =169,735 kcal./mole. This means an 84.58‐kcal./mole average bond energy in diamond. The C–H bond energy of the methylene radical is 97.02 kcal./mole, the strength of the paraffinic C–C bond 82.59 kcal./mole, the olefinic double bond C=C is 145.12 kcal./mole. The rupture of successive bonds in methane requires 100.76, 97.36, 97.02, 97.02 kcal./mole.Keywords
