CCl and CC bond energies in the chloroethanes and CH, CCl, and CC bond energies in the chloroethyl radicals are calculated from known heats of formation of chloroethanes and chloroethylenes and known CH bond energies in chloroethanes. The results obtained show a dependence of bond energy on the isomeric structure of the molecules and radicals and on the type of bond broken (primary, secondary, or tertiary). Heats of formation and bond energies estimated from group property additivity rules are in close agreement with experimental values.
