Consider an ionic compound, MX, composed of generic metal M and generic, gaseous halogen X. • The enthalpy of formation of MX is AH; = -517 kJ/mol. • The enthalpy of sublimation of M is AHub = 141 kJ/mol. • The ionization energy of M is IE = 449 kJ/mol. • The electron affinity of X is AHEA -323 kJ/mol. (Refer to the hint). • The bond energy of X, is BE = 217 kJ/mol. Determine the lattice energy of MX. AHjattice = kJ/mol
Types of Chemical Bonds
The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds between its constituents. Stronger the chemical bond, more will be the stability in the chemical compounds. Hence, it can be said that bonding defines the stability of chemical compounds.
Polarizability In Organic Chemistry
Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.
Coordinate Covalent Bonds
A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate covalent bond or dative bond is important to know about the special type of bonding that leads to different properties. Since covalent compounds are non-polar whereas coordinate bonds results always in polar compounds due to charge separation.
