Standard molar enthalpy required to break a given bond of some specific molecular entity by homolysis.
Example: For \(\ce{CH4 -> CH3. + H.}\), the bond-dissociation enthalpy is symbolized as \({\rm{D}}H^{\circ}(\ce{CH3-H})\).
Note: Although \({\rm{D}}H^{\circ}\) is commonly used, \(\Delta_{\rm{diss}} H^{\circ}\) is more consistent with the notation for other thermodynamic quantities.
