Chapter 3.1, Problem 3.2TIY
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The reason behind the decreased bond strength in the series C–C in ethane, N–N in hydrazine and O–O in peroxide should be explained.

Concept introduction:There are several factors that contribute to the strength of a bond and they are as follows:

The orbitals of bonds if matched betterin size and energy then lead to effective overlap and thus it is difficult to cleave such strong bonds.If the polarity between the atoms that overlap is greater then greater extent of columbic attraction that reinforces the bond.
