bond energy ___ with bond order
increases
define bond energy (BE)
energy needed to overcome attraction between nuclei and the shared electrons. strong the bond, higher bond energy.
define bond length
distance between nuclei and bonded atoms
bond order and bond length are directly/inversely proportional
inversely
shorter the bond lengther ___ bond energy
higher
trend for bond length
increases down group, decreases across a period
trend for bond energy (inverse of bond length)
decrease down group, increase across period
equations when solving for deltaH using bond energy
sum of bond energy of reactants - sum of bond energy of products
