A student calculated the energy of an unknown product bond and obtained a value of 340kJ mol−1. Later, the student realized that one of the product bonds had been omitted from the calculation, and including it would make the overall reaction enthalpy more exothermic. Without performing a new calculation, state whether the true bond energy of the unknown bond is greater than, less than, or equal to 340kJ mol−1 and briefly explain your reasoning in one sentence.
