1. In the case of polyatomic molecules with two or more same bond types, the arithmetic mean of the bond energy value of the same type of bonds is considered as average bond enthalpy.

2. For e.g., in water, there are two OH bonds present and the energy needed to break them are not same.

3. H2O(g) → H(g) + OH (g)

ΔH1 = 502 kJ mol-1

OH(g) → H(g) + O(g)

∆H = 427 kJ mo

The average bond enthalpy of OH bond in water = \(\frac{502+427}{2}\) = 464.5 kJ mol-1.
