The amount of energy required to break a bond is same as the amount of energy released when the same bond is formed. In gaseous state, the energy required for homolytic cleavage of a bond is called Bond Dissociation Energy (BDE) or Bond Strength. BDE is affected by ss-character of the bond and the stability of the radicals formed. Shorter bonds are typically stronger bonds. BDEs for some bonds are given below :
ClCl(g)Cl(g)+Cl(g)  ΔH=58  kcal  mol1\mathrm{Cl}-\mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cl}^{\bullet}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{Cl}^{\bullet}(\mathrm{g})\;\Delta H^{\circ}=58\;\mathrm{kcal}\;\mathrm{mol}^{-1}
H3CCl(g)H3C(g)+Cl(g)  ΔH=85  kcal  mol1\mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{3}\mathrm{C}^{\bullet}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{Cl}^{\bullet}(\mathrm{g})\;\Delta H^{\circ}=85\;\mathrm{kcal}\;\mathrm{mol}^{-1}
HCl(g)H(g)+Cl(g)  ΔH=103  kcal  mol1\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}^{\bullet}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{Cl}^{*}(\mathrm{g})\;\Delta H^{\circ}=103\;\mathrm{kcal}\;\mathrm{mol}^{-1}
