6.11—Bond enthalpy data gives some indication about which bond will break first in a reaction, how easy or difficult it is

Understand that bond enthalpy data gives some indication about which bond will break first in a reaction, how easy or difficult it is and therefore how rapidly a reaction will take place at room temperature.

Use —bond enthalpy data gives some indication about which bond will break first in a reaction, how easy or difficult it is to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —bond enthalpy data gives some indication about which bond will break first in a reaction, how easy or difficult it is determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —bond enthalpy data gives some indication about which bond will break first in a reaction, how easy or difficult it is to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Bond enthalpy data gives some indication about which bond will break first in a reaction, how easy or difficult it is is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
