Chemical bonding Flashcards
What is H-H bond enthalpy in H2 ?
435.8 kJ mol-1
What is the concept of resonance?
Whenever a single Lewis structure cannot describe a molecule accurately, a no. of structures with similar energy, positions of nuclei, bonding and non bonding pairs of electrons are taken as canonical structures of the hybrid which describes the molecule accurately.
What is N(triple bond)N in N2?
946.0 kJ mol-1
What is the bond dissociation enthalpy for HCl?
431.0 kJ mol-1
What is bond order?
Number of bonds between the two atoms in a molecule.
What is average bond enthalpy?
Total bond dissociation enthalpy upon number of bonds broken.
Which molecules and ions have identical bond orders?
Isoelectronic.
What will increase if we increase the bond order?
Bond enthalpy
How is resonance represented?
By double headed arrow.
What are the features of Resonance?
- Resonance stabilizes the molecule as the energy of the resonance hybrid is less than the energy of any single canonical structure.
- Resonance averages the bond characteristics as a whole.
What is non polar covalent bond?
When covalent bond is formed between two similar atoms, the shared pair of electron is equally attracted by two atoms. As a result electron pair is situated exactly between the two identical nuclei. This bond is called non polar covalent bond.
What is dipole moment?
Product of the magnitude of the charge and the distance between the centers of positive and negative charge.
In which unit is dipole moment expressed?
Debye units.
What is the value of 1 Debye?
1Debye = 3.33564 x 10^-30 C m
What decreases with increase in bond order?
Bond length
