  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001415",
  "term": "Bond energy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The average enthalpy change required to break a specific type of bond in one mole of gaseous molecules. This value represents the strength of a chemical bond. Bond energies are positive values, as energy must be supplied to break a bond, and are typically expressed in kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol).",
  "synonyms": [
    "mean bond energy"
