Q

What type of reaction is bond breaking?

A

Endothermic

17
Q

Why is bond breaking endothermic?

A

It requires energy.

18
Q

What type of reaction is bond forming?

A

exothermic

19
Q

Why is bond forming exothermic?

A

It releases energy.

20
Q

How can enthalpy changes be calculated using average bond enthalpies?

A

Enthalpy change of reaction = total energy absorbed to break bonds - total energy released in making bonds.

21
Q

In terms of bond enthalpies, what is enthalpy change for a reaction?

A

The overall effect of the changes in energy when bonds are formed and broken.

22
Q

What is the enthalpy change like if you need more energy to break bonds than is released when bonds are made?

A

The enthalpy change is positive.

23
Q

What is the enthalpy change like if you need less energy to break bonds than is released when bonds are made?

A

The enthalpy change is negative.

24
Q

What is bond enthalpy?

A

The energy needed to break a bond, or the energy given out when a bond forms.

25
Q

What is the correlation between the strength of the bond and its bond enthalpy?

A

The stronger the bond, the higher the bond enthalpy.

26
Q

Are bond enthalpies exact?

A

No.
For example, water has two O-H bonds but it takes different amounts of energy to break them both. The first bond takes more energy to break than the second one so the average bond enthalpy is the amount of energy needed to break both of the bonds divided by 2.

27
Q

What is average bond enthalpy?

A

The energy needed to break one mole of bonds in the gas phase, averaged over many different compounds.

28
Q

What is a bond enthalpy related to?

A

The length of the bond.

29
Q

What is bond length?

A

The distance between two nuclei is the distance where the attractive and repulsive forces balance each other. This distance is the bond length.

30
Q

What is the correlation between attraction between atoms and bond enthalpy and bond length?

A

The stronger the attraction between the atoms, the higher the bond enthalpy and the shorter the bond length. If there’s more attraction, the nuclei are pulled closer together.

31
Q

Which bond has a greater bond enthalpy:

C=C or C-C?

A

C=C

32
Q

Which has a shorter bond length:

C=C or C-C?

A

C=C

33
Q

In which is the electron density greater:

C=C or C-C?

A

C=C as four electrons are shared rather than just 2 in C-C.

34
Q

As bond length increases what happens to average bond enthalpy?

A

Decreases.
