If an electron is removed from each molecule, it is observed that N2+ has a weaker bond than N2, but O2+ has a stronger bond than O2. Explain why electron removal has a different effect on these two molecules.
A non-charged neutral
molecule with a central atom A
(unknown) attached to 2 CI
atoms (Formula: ACI2 with 2 A-
CI single bonds) has a BENT
(Angular) geometry. The
central atom A is likely to be: *

O s
O two of the above are possible
The electron affinity of Cl is 3.61 eV whereas the ionization energy of K is 4.34 eV. How far apart must two
molecules be for the KC1 molecule to accumulate enough Coulomb energy to outpace the energy required to create
the K+ and (I-) ions?
