G. Bond Enthalpies<br />
One consequence of the fact that bond formation in many molecules is highly localized<br />
between neighboring atoms is that bond enthalpies are fairly insensitive to the other (non-neighbor)<br />
atoms of the molecule. As a result of this, average bond enthalpies that have been determined for<br />
bonds between various atoms may be used to estimate enthalpies of reactions. Average bond<br />
enthalpies for bonds of H, C, N, and O atoms with other common elements are given in Table 4-1.<br />

Bond enthalpies, such as those given in the above table, may be determined from enthalpies<br />
of formation. For example, to obtain the C!H bond enthalpy, One can use the following information<br />
for the CH molecule: CH ! C + 4H<br />
