Chapter 12, Problem 9STP

Use the table below to answer Questions 9 and 10.

Create a graph to show how bond length varies withbond strength. Place bond strength on the x-axis.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The graph plotted between bond length and bond strength needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The bond length is inversely proportion to bond strength.

Answer to Problem 9STP

The graph plotted between bond length and bond strength is follows as:

Explanation of Solution

Bond length is average distance between two nuclei bonded atoms while bond strength is the ability of bond which hold atoms together. Bond length depends upon differ factor such as electron affinity, size of atoms and difference between electro − negativity. In case of bond energy, higher the bond energy, shorter is the bond length.
