The energy of a chemical bond is directly related to its strength. Generally, multiple bonds (double and triple bonds) are stronger and thus have higher bond energies than single bonds between the same two atoms. Among multiple bonds, triple bonds are stronger than double bonds.

Let's compare the bond energies for the given options:

• C-C (single bond): This is a single covalent bond.
• C=C (double bond): This is a double covalent bond, which is stronger than a C-C single bond.
• C≡C (triple bond): This is a triple covalent bond, which is stronger than both C-C single and C=C double bonds.
• C-H (single bond): This is a single covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen. While C-H bonds are generally strong, they are typically weaker than C≡C triple bonds.

Comparing the bond energies:

• Average C-C bond energy: ~348 kJ/mol
• Average C=C bond energy: ~614 kJ/mol
• Average C≡C bond energy: ~839 kJ/mol
• Average C-H bond energy: ~413 kJ/mol

From these values, the C≡C triple bond has the highest bond energy.

Correct Answer: (B)
