The bond energies of Cl-Cl, C-C and C-H are 59 Kcal/mole, 90 Kcal/mole and 105 Kcal/mole respectively. Considering the reaction of ethane with Cl2, which of the following statements are correct? Question 38 options: A. When heat is the source of energy, Cl-Cl bond is the easiest to break B. When light is the source of energy, Cl-Cl absorbs visible light, but ethane does not C. If heat is the source of energy, the C-H bonds breaks easily compared to other bonds involved in the reaction D. If heat is the source of energy, C-C bonds breaks easily compared to other bonds involved in the reaction Both A & B
