Mean bond enthalpy of C-H in CH4 is X Kj/mole.Heat of Atomization of CH4 is Y Kj/mole. Correct relation is
For poly atomic molecules ; Mean bond enthalpy =Heat of Atomisation of molecule Total number of similar types of bonds; CH4g→CH3g+Hg...∆H1=q1; CH3g→CH2g+Hg...∆H2=q2; CH2g→CHg+Hg.....∆H3=q3; CHg→Cg+Hg.......∆H4=q4 ; Average of the above reactions is mean bond enthalpy; Mean bond enthalpyX= q1+q2+q3+q44;....1 CH4g→Cg+4Hg...∆Hatm=q1+q2+q3+q4; Net ∆H is called enthalpy of atomization='Y' ;....2 Comparing 1 and 2 X=Y4;
