Bonding : MatchBondStrength (8 Variations)
Match each of the following molecules to the best energy value for each bond. Do not use the table of bond energies in your book, but predict these values using your knowledge of bond length and bond strength.
Possible energies are: 300 kJ/mol, 330 kJ/mol, 415 kJ/mol and 950 kJ/mol.
Predicting the Stability of Hypervalent MoleculesTracy A. Mitchell, Debbie Finocchio, and Jeremy Kua In this exercise, students use concepts in thermochemistry such as bond energy, ionization potentials, and electron affinities to predict the relative stability of two hypervalent molecules (PF5 and PH5) relative to their respective non-hypervalent counterparts. Mitchell, Tracy A.; Finocchio, Debbie; Kua, Jeremy. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 629.
