We get $$1.6 \times 10^{-20}$$ Calories.

So does a C-C bond exists?

ohh i get what you're getting at. I guess it's such a small amount of energy that bonds are always being broken and remade, not really sure how it works on a macroscale level and why we don't fall apart, maybe that could be attributed to the amount of bonds there are? lol
