83. For these bond types, "C" indicates a carbon atom obeying the octet rule by implicit bonding to other carbon atoms.
84. Heats of formation are determined by a reaction energy at a given theoretical level. Taking this energy and the known heats of formation of all reactants and products save one, the unknown heat of formation may be calculated.
