he bond strength of compounds A, B, C, and D as measured by their bond energies (kJ/mol) 350, 500, 180, and 1,450, respectively. Which compound will most likely conduct electricity when dissolved in water? C.

Compound C

Explanation:

To conduct electricity in the water, the compound must produce ions, and this happens by ionization or dissociation when the bonds of the compounds are broken.

To broken a bond, energy must be lost by the substance at the same amount of the energy necessary to make the bond. Thus, as higher is the bond energy, as more difficult is to broken it. So, the compound with low bond energy will the easiest to conduct electricity, which will be compound C.
