11. Bonding & Molecular Structure / Bond Energy / Problem 3

The heat of atomization is defined as the enthalpy change that accompanies the total breakdown of a molecule into its constituent atoms (gas phase). The heat of atomization of SiH4 is 1194 kJ/mol while it is 1351 kJ/mol for SiH3Cl. Using only this data, calculate the bond energy for the Si—Cl bond.
