Astronut the page I quoted from Wikipedia was devoted to BOND ENERGY not BOND DISSOCIATION ENERGY.
Here is the link to prove it:
Bond energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is the first line of the webpage:
Quote:

In chemistry, bond energy (E) is a measure of bond strength in a chemical bond.

And the second paragraph was the initial quote I gave you:
Quote:

Another example: an O–H bond of a water molecule (H–O–H) has 493.4 kJ mol-1 of bond dissociation energy, and 424.4 kJ mol-1 is needed to cleave the remaining O–H bond. The bond energy of the O–H bonds in water is 458.9 kJ mol-1, which is the average of the values.

So when you said the following Astronut you were completely wrong:
Quote:

The article was actually titled bond dissociation energy for a reason; that's what it's talking about, and it even explicitly uses the words "bond dissociation energy" (as previously mentioned, equal to delta H on my graph) in your quote. You just proved my point, thanks for pointing it out again.

Are you sure you're being serious Astronut or are you having us all on?
