Question 8.63

[404975170]

This is a question finding the standard enthalpies of formation where you look at the bonds broken an formed. For part c) it says 3 mol CRC bonds are formed. What is a CRC bond? also what does it mean when it says “atomize”?

[Christine Chen 1H]

Hey! To atomize means to break down into smaller parts. Since C(gr) does not have a bond with another element, it is atomized instead of bonds being broken or formed.
