Bond enthalpy which is also reffered to as bond energy is the amount of energy that is required to break one mole of a bond.
taking the single bond between Oxygen and Hydrogen into considerationthe bond energy between their single bond is 463 kJ/mol.
formal charge is used for the comparison of the number of electrons present around an atom in a particular molecule with the number of electrons present around a neutral
