Use the reaction and bond information to answer the question. C2H6 → C2H4 + H2

Reactant bond energies: H–C = 413 kJ/mol, C–C single bond = 347 kJ/mol

Product bond energies: H–C = 413 kJ/mol, C=C double bond = 614 kJ/mol, H–H = 432 kJ/mol

Reactions often do not occur spontaneously (without the addition of energy) if it takes more energy to start the reaction than is released at the end. Based on the bond energies, would this reaction occur spontaneously? Why or why not?

No, because the reaction is exothermic.

Yes, because the reaction is exothermic.

Yes, because the reaction is endothermic.

No, because the reaction is endothermic

a polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly between atoms

the term hydride is commonly named after binary compounds that hydrogen forms with other elements of the periodic table. hydride compounds in general form with almost any element, except a few noble gases. the trends and properties vary according to the type of intermolecular force that bonds the elements together, the temperature, its molecular masses, and other components. hydrides are classified into three major groups, depending on what elements the hydrogen bonds to. the three major groups are covalent, ionic, and metallic hydrides. formally, hydride is known as the negative ion of a hydrogen, h-, also called a hydride ion. because of this negative charge, hydrides have reducing, or basic properties. its special characteristics will be further discussed.
