Book excerpt: "In a discussion of the strengths of chemical bonds it is important to distinguish between two concepts, the 'bond dissociation energy' and the 'bond energy term'. Since chemical reactions involve the formation and rupture of bonds, it is clear that bond dissociation energies must be considered among the main determining factors of chemical reactivity. However, bond properties, such as the bond length, are more effectively correlated with the bond energy term which represents that fraction of the total molecular binding energy that can be ascribed to a particular bond as it exists in the undisturbed molecule." --
