Hey all, I was doing passage 1, test one in BKR's orgo workbook and I was looking at the table they provided trying to find a trend between BDE and hybridization. Is there such a trend? Would a sp3-sp3 bond have a lower BDE than an sp-sp3 bond between carbons? If so, why?
Also, does a tertiary carbon bonded to a primary carbon have a lower BDE than a secondary carbon bonded to a primary carbon? If so, does this explain why heat of combustion for a branched alkane is lower than that of a straight chain alkane (i.e 2-methlyhexane versus propane) ?
Thank you! I appreciate your help
