Enthalpy of atomization, ΔaH0, is the change in enthalpy when one mole of bonds is completely broken to obtain atoms in the gas phase. For example: atomization of methane molecule.
CH4 (g) → C (g) + 4H (g) ΔaH0= 1665.0 kJ mol-1
For diatomic molecules, enthalpy of atomization is equal to the enthalpy of bond dissociation. For example: atomization of dihydrogen molecule.
H2 (g) → 2H (g); ΔaH0= 435.0 kJ mol-1
