Chapter 8, Problem 10ALQ

What is meant by a chemical bond? Why do atoms form bonds with each other? Why do some elements exist as molecules in nature instead of as free atoms?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Define the term electronegativity. Then, (ii) explain how covalent and ionic bonds differ from each other and (iii) explain how electronegativity can be used to determine what kind bond will form between two atoms.
A scientist studies the bond energies of different compounds containing nitrogen (N). The scientist observes that the N–N bonds in one group of compounds have a bond energy of 209 kJ/mol, while the N–N bonds in another group of compounds have a bond energy of 418 kJ/mol. In one or two sentences, postulate a reason for this difference.
Why do sodium ion and choride ion form a compound?   A) The energy of the formation of the negative chloride is overcome by the energy of the formation of the positive sodium ion.   B) The lattice energy between the positive sodium and the negative chloride ions overcome the  endothermic formation of the ions   C)The energy of the formation of the positive sodium ion is overcome by the energy of the formation of the negative chloride ion.   D) The energy of the formation of the positive sodium ion is canceled by the formation of the negative chloride ion.
