    Please Help with bonding frequencies

    Hi I need all the bonding frequencies for all the elements in the human body, IE: carbon-carbon single bond frequency of 1300 cm - 1. It is very important to have the single, double and triple bonds because I am doing something that will require them all. It would also be helpful if someone...

    Why isn't bond dissociation energy/bond enthaply measured in Newtons?

    I understand every bond chemically has a length and energy to break, and energy is Newton*meters. Is the Bond enthaply/Bond disassociation energy equivalent to the force needed to break the bond * the bond length? Why don't we say, to break the bond from O to H we need to put magnets on left of...

    Chemistry Valence Bond Theory: Energy of a system with H and Cl atoms

    Answer: The energy of a system with H and Cl atoms at varying distances can be represented by a curve that shows the potential energy of the system as a function of the distance between the two atoms. At very large distances, the potential energy is zero because there is no interaction between...

    Why does C-C have a higher bond energy than B-N in hBN and graphene?

    Hi everyone, this is my first post in the chemistry section. I am doing a project for my engineering class on "cutting edge" materials and the one I chose is hexagonal boron nitride (specifically in the form of nanotubes). In comparing hBN to graphene, I need to explain to the class why graphene...

    Polar Covalent Bond in HCl question

    If my understanding is correct, the polar covalent bond in HCl creates a polar molecule because the molecule is unsymmetrical. 1. Does this mean that the partially positive H of one HCl molecule will be attracted to the partially negative Cl of another HCl molecule and vice versa, to create a...

    Breaking an Ionic Bond-Atom Charge & Electron Config

    When breaking an ionic bond in order to form a new compound, do the atoms retain their charge (new electron configuration) or revert back to their original form before creating a new bond with a new partner? Are all ions in a bond of some type or can they exist freely on their own?

    Question about the bond MO's for diatomic early 2nd period elements

    So this question is about the bond molecular orbital diagrams for elements in the 2nd period, before O. When the diatomic bond forms, the two pi 2p* orbitals are shown lower in energy than the sigma 2p*, uptil we get to O2. I want to understand why this is? From what I know, a sigma bond...

    Bond energy of a Pi bond and a sigma bond

    It is well known that sigma bond is stronger than Pi bond. However in bond energy table that C=O is 745 KJ and C-O is 358 KJ. we can calculate the Pi bond energy is 745-358=387! The Pi bond(387KJ) is stronger than sigma bond(358KJ) ? How could this happen?

    If a bond breaking absorbs energy, why does ATP hydrolysis release it?

    Hi. We know that bond formation releases energy and bond break absorbs energy. I still don't figure out why ATP hydrolysis (that breaks a bond between oxygen and phosphorous) releases energy, and it releases a LOT.

    Catabolism exergonic yet breaking a bond is endothermic?

    Hi - really basic question here, but I was wondering. In biology it's said that catabolic reactions which break something down release energy, making such exergonic. In chemistry it is said that breaking bonds is endo-thermic. This seems counter-intuitive to me? But, I realize it's because the...

    Why does boron banana bond here?

    BH4- + H^+ - > H2 + H2B6 Isn't hydride just a H -, simply putting that with an H+ should give a stable BH3 + H2. Why's the banana bonding happening? Also in NaBH4 + I2 - > B2H6 + 2NaI + H2, can i imagine a oxidation like 2BH4- -> BH3 + H2 + 2e? So I can break I2 as 2I -?
