Chapter 8.1, Problem 12SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The graph between bond dissociation energy and bond length is to be drawn. The relationship between bond dissociation energy and bond length is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The energy required to break a bond is termed as bond dissociation energy. The bond length depends on the bond dissociation energies. The longest bond has the lowest bond energy and the shortest bond has the highest bond energy.

Answer to Problem 12SSC

The graph between bond dissociation energy and bond length is shown below.

The relationship between bond dissociation energy and bond length is that bond dissociation energy is inversely related to bond length.

Explanation of Solution

The bond dissociation energy data is shown below.

The bond length data is shown below.

The combined data of bond dissociation energy and bond length is shown below.

From the above data, by taking bond length on the x -axis and bond dissociation energy to the y -axis, the graph is drawn as shown below.

From the above graph, it is clear that bond dissociation energy decreases as the bond length increases.

Conclusion

The graph between bond dissociation energy and bond length is drawn in the explanation part. The graph clearly indicates that the bond dissociation energy decreases as the bond length increases.
