What is the bond dissociation energy of a carbon-carbon single bond in ethane (C2H6), and how does it compare to the bond dissociation energy of a carbon-carbon double bond in ethene (C2H4)?

The bond dissociation energy of a carbon-carbon single bond in ethane  C2H6  is approximately 348 kJ/mol. In comparison, the bond dissociation energy of a carbon-carbon double bond in ethene  C2H4  is approximately 612 kJ/mol. This means that the carbon-carbon double bond in ethene is stronger than the carbon-carbon single bond in ethane, and it requires more energy to break the double bond than the single bond.
