Covalent Bonding

Question 1

Bond enthalpy is related to length of a bond

Answer 1

Bond length is the distance between the two nuclei where the attractive and repulsive forces balance each other

The higher the electron density between the nuclei, the stronger the attraction between the atoms, the higher the bond enthalpy and the shorter the bond length

Question 2

Dative covalent bonding

Answer 2

This is where one atom donates both of its electrons to a bond
