What is the apparent bond energy of a carbon–sulfur bond in cos?
1 answer:
COS, or carbonyl sulfide, is shown in the attached picture as a Lewis structure. As you can see, carbon and sulfur are connected through a double bond. There is an empirical data for bond energies of specific bonds. Refer to this site: http://www.wiredchemist.com/chemistry/data/bond_energies_lengths.html. If you find C=S, the bond energy is equal to <em>573 kJ/mol</em>.
