Activating C-H bonds is a popular research target for chemists, particularly for pharmaceuticals. Older methods used light to initiate the bond breaking. Breaking 1 mole of C-H bonds requires about 413 kJ. What would be minimum frequency of a photon needed to break a single (1) C-H bond? 1.03 × 1015 Hz O 5.25 x 10¹5 Hz O 4.98 × 10¹4 Hz O 872 × 1014 Hz O
