Solution

The correct option is A True
In the methane, energy needed to break a mole of methane gas into gaseous carbon and hydrogen atoms is +1662 kJ and involves breaking 4 moles of C-H bonds. The average bond energy is therefore +1662/4 kJ, which is +415.5 kJ per mole of bonds. Bond enthalpies give average values of all similar bonds.
