Bond Energy • The energy required to break the bond between two covalently bonded atoms- bonddissociation energy • Unit is kJ/mole (kiloJoule per mole) • A large bond dissociation energy indicates a strong covalent bond
Bond Energy/Bond Length • As the number of bonds between two atoms increases the bond length decreases and the bond energy increases • Electron density between atoms increases the nuclear attraction
Bond energy Bond length • C-C 347 kJ/mol 154 pm • C=C 657 kJ/mol 134 pm • C=C 908 kJ/mol 120 pm
Bond Energy/Bond Length • The size of the atom makes a difference! • As the atomic radii of bonding atoms increases, • The bond length increases bond energy decreases
Bond length • Measured using X-ray crystallography • Positions of atoms can be identified based on the diffraction of Xrays by a crystal • Infrared spectroscopy • Uses the frequency of vibration of molecule and the wavelength of laser can determine distance between atoms Single bond is longest, triple bond is shortest
Resonance • Resonance structure- draw two or more valid Lewis structures for the same molecule • The structure of a molecule is an average of all of the equivalent resonance structures • Proven by Xray diffraction • Ozone O3
Resonance- Effective Bonds • Effective bonds explain why the bonds are the same length • Effective bonds = #of bonds / # of outer atoms
