Carbon Carbon Bond Angle

The angle between the hybrid orbitals of central atom of a molecule which contains bonding electron pairs. The bond angle can be experimentally determined by spectroscopic methods and expressed in degree. Bond angle depends on the type of hybridization of carbon atom.

Bond angle helps in determination of shape of molecule. For example, thebond angle in methane is 109°28’.

Carbon Carbon Bond Strength

The bond strength is measurement of the covalent bond between two carbon atoms. In other words bond strength is directly linked with bond order and the degree to which each atom linked to another atom contributes to the valency of this other atom.

Carbon Carbon Bond Energy

The amount of energy involved in bond formation or bond cleavage is known as bond energy.

In other words, bond energy is an indirect measure of bond strength. As the bond strength increases due to the presence of pi bond, the bond energy also increases. As more energy required cleaving a strong bond compare to weak bond.
