    I How can I estimate the K force constant for bond types without special tools?

    Hi I'm trying to throw together a cool chart, I need the K constant so I can divide K/U to get the CM-1 measurement of every element for every bond type. I don't have any special tools for this, no force gauges. Does anyone have any idea how to at least roughly get an accurate depiction 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...

    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?

    What Does Bond Energy Really Mean?

    I'm having trouble understanding the definition of bond energy. My textbook defines it as the energy required to break 1 mole of the bond in the gas phase. I don't understand what it means to break 1 mole of a bond. Cl2 (g) ---> 2 Cl(g) Bond energy = 243 kJ. Since 1 mole of Cl2 is 1.2*1024...

    What other forms of energy does latent heat convert to during a phase change?

    The kinetic theory says that temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy. That would mean then : The temperature rises with the rise in kinetic energy. We know that when matter changes state 'latent heat' helps in 'breaking the bonds' at the transition phase and that this 'extra...

    Exploring Bond Energy & MO Theory in He2 Molecule Formation

    This is a question in "Chemical Principles, 6th Edition, Steven Zumdahl": Bond energy has been defined in the text as the amount of energy required to break a chemical bond, so we have come to think of the addition of energy as breaking bonds. However, in some cases the addition of energy can...

    C2H4 Bond Energy | Bond Breaking & Adding Energy

    if you have a chemical like C2H4 and you add Br2 to get the change in energy would you have to break every bond and add it up and then subtract something. If you do have to subtract something what would it be. The bond energy of each bond maybe.
