Homework Statement James Bond and Dr. No are engaged in fisticuffs on a board overhanging a pool. Dr. No now pulls out his weapon. oh no!. Bond is in trouble again. Bond quickly calculates the torques and leaps off the left end of the board leaving Dr. No on the right. Is Bond safe? That is...

As i know chemical bonding can be considered as a spectrum of bond ranging from covalent to ionic. Now can we say that ionic bond is harder than covalent bond?? Since covalent bond is a result of attractive n repulsive bt ionic only attractive . If it does, instead of bond length factor, HF...

please can anyone explain me in simple words why energy is released when bonds are formed?

For metals for instance, is the metallic bond that determines the crystal structure(i.e. FCC (face centered cubic), HCP (hexagonal close packed)) or is the crystal structure that determines the type of bond? In other words, if someone were to ask me what kind of bond an element with an FCC...

In the following link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Silicon-tetrafluoride-2D-dimensions.png the bonds are represented pictorially in different ways(like the black triangle). Do these just show the physical structure of the bonds or do they show the different types of bonds?

Hello, How can I calculate the bond dissociation energy for K+Br- when I only know the the length of the bond? Equation D0 = De - 0.5hω does not help because I do not know ω and De. ω is the vibrational frequency of the bond. Thank you for your advice beforehand.

Specific Heat: Bond or Freedom of Degree Based, Or Size?? Okay so I've been trying to understand what causes one substance to have a higher specific heat then other but I've read quite a few conflicting sources in which one says its due to the freedom of degree, while another says the weight of...

As shown in this picture. How would you do the naming for a sidechain that has double bonds? Or does the double bond take priority over the length of the chain?

Styrene Maleic Anhydride is a tricky polymer that I've been researching over the last few days. There is very little information online, and I've been trying to figure out the bond lengths and angles. I know the bond angles inside the benzene are 120 degrees, and the Carbon attached to the...

Is it possible to determine the strength of a bond given the elements involved and the order of the bond? If so, how does one go about doing so? The reason I'm asking is because I'm considering trying to code an analytical chemistry library as a way to increase my understanding of chemistry...

When scientists analyze proteins (chains of amino acids), often times light spectroscopy is used. Light is passes through a cuvet containing dissolved protein, and the absorption is measured. My question is: How do bonds absorb energy? What is the actual mechanism? I have been told that the...

Cyclopropane is a cycloalkane with three carbon atoms. Each carbon is bonded to two hydrogens as well as the other two carbons, forming a triangular bond between the three carbons. Each carbon has a tetrahedral molecular geometry since it has sp3 hybrization. However, I am rather confused...

I have some confusion about the relationship between bond polarity and bond length. Generally strong bonds are short in length. Generally strong bonds are more polar. (Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds). Therefore, the more polar bonds tend to be shorter in length? And yet...

1. Homework Statement This was a question on an exam I took a week ago in inorganic chemistry. The problem statement was like: "We have two molecules, H2CCH2 (ethene) and F2CCF2 (1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethene). Which bond angle is greater? H-C-H in ethene or F-C-F in 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethene?"...

Why can't there be a metal-metal multiple bond in ... ? [Re2OCl10] 4- Each Re has an octahedral geometry basically, with 5 Cl- attached to it. It also has a bridging O, which bridges the two Re together. O also produces pi donation to each Re, so that there is basically a double bond...

I am so confussed.. Talking about transition metals, in the book it says that the general trend in a period is for the metallic radii to decrease due to increase of Zeff. But I don't think this makes sense. I think: we are talking about metallic radii not IONIC! If its metallic, then the...

Hi Atoms are closer in FCC. Does it imply high bond strength? It does imply low bond energy.

Hey, I've looked for a little bit just online and in the forums and still have not gotten a definite answer. My question: why does bond formation release energy? There is a reason I am posting this is the Quantum Physics section. I am very certain that the energy released into the environment is...

I have a two questions. 1. What is the force (not energy) required to break the H-O atomic bond? 2. What is the minimum additional distance required to separate the H from the O to consider the bond broken? From this table I see that the energy of the bond is 459000J/mol and the radius of...

Homework Statement According to the molecular biology book I am reading, when a chemical bond breaks, the energy in the bond is released in the form of heat. which is to say, when a chemical bond breaks the entire atom's speed increases (the atom gains 'heat energy'). But what is...

"Where" do electrons "go"(?) within a covalent bond If you take a water molecule (H-O-H) with 2 covalent bonds (imagine, just for now, that this is the only 2 atoms around ;-). The H’s electron and one of the O’s electrons (within the covalent bond) must be “somewhere”. They were...

How can the bond angle in a molecules are measured ? The methods used to measure the angles and length b/w bonds.

Hey, I will be taking a high school course in chemistry next week and I am wondering why things in chemistry work. No one taught me the reasons why it work, and therefore, never got good marks in it. Can someone tell me why certain elements bond in certain ways. For example, why does 2 H2 + O2...

In THE THEORY OF REALMATERIALS(Annu. Rev. Mater. Sci. 2000. 30:1–26), Marvin L. Cohen states that "Because charge transfer reduces the covalent component of a heteropolar bond, B0 is also reduced." Can you explain that connection between charge transfer and covalent component of a...

Homework Statement The Questions asks if the C=O bond length is shortened due to resonance Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Now, I know that double bonds are stronger than a single bond and the strength outweighs the repulsion by the electrons. I'm just hesitant to say...

What is the explanation for the fact that the bonding in SnI4 is more covalent than the bonding in SnF4 ? My thought was... because A polar bond is a covalent bond in which there is a separation of charge between one end and the other. Thus... I am trying to prove that SnI4 is more polar...

I'm hoping someone can explain how the formation of a chemical bond releases heat. What I imagine is that, when two atoms that are about to bond come near each other, they (or at least some of their electrons) accelerate forward under the influence of an electrostatic force. When these...

In alcohols, the negative charge on 'Oxygen atom' increases due to '+I effect' of alkyl groups. While in acids, the '+I effect' of alkyl groups decreases the positive charge on the 'Carbon atom'. In the first case the +I effect makes it easier to break the C-O bond while in the second case...
