Chapter 7, Problem 7.76PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To find out which type of bond is formed when one element have high electron affinity and other element with low ionization energy.

Concept introduction: Ionization energy explained about the quantity of energy that is required to remove an electron from the gaseous atom or ion. It is clearly explained in the following equation:

$\text{H(g)}\to {\text{H}}^{\text{+}}{\text{(g)+e}}^{\text{-}}$

The unit of this energy is $\text{kJ/mol}$.

Electron affinity explained about the quantity of energy that is released on adding an electron to the gaseous atom or ion. It is clearly explained in the following equation:

${\text{Cl(g)+e}}^{\text{-}}\to {\text{Cl}}^{-}\text{(g)}$

The unit of this energy is $\text{kJ/mol}$.
