Q

Halogenoalkanes: Bond Enthalpy in terms of IMFs

What’s the trend of Halogenoalkanes in terms of Bond Enthalpy & IMFs?

A
  • Down G7, atomic radius increases
    ↳ more electrons
    ↳ more IMFs
    ↳ higher mp/bp : more energy needed to break it down

Hence C-I has the highest mp/bp
↳ hardest to break

Q

Halogenoalkanes: Bond Enthalpy in terms of NC

What’s the trend of Halogenoalkanes in terms of Bond Enthalpy & NC?

A
  • Down G7, atomic radius increases
    ↳ outer e- = further away shielded by inner e-
    ↳ ionise quicker : nuclear charge is reduced
    ↳ lower mp/bp : less energy needed to break it down

Hence C-I has the lowerst mp/bp
↳ easiest to break
