The bond energy between carbon and oxygen is 358 for a single bond (C–O) and 745 for a double bond (C=O). Why is the bond energy higher for double-bonded carbon and oxygen (C=O)?
A. Additional bonds require less energy to break, so the bond energy is higher.
B. Additional electrons attract each other, decreasing the distance between atoms, and increasing bond energy.
C. Additional electrons repel each other, increasing the distance between atoms, and increasing bond energy.
D. Additional bonds require more energy to break, so the bond energy is higher.
