Chapter 9, Problem 69SCQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energy required to break one of the HF bonds in HF2 be greater than, less than, or the same as the energy required breaking the bond in HF; the reason behind this should be explained.

Concept Introduction

Valance bond (VBT) theory: This theory explain a chemical bonding theory that explains the bonding between two atoms is caused by the overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals. The two atoms share each other's unpaired electron to form a filled orbital to form a hybrid orbital and bond together.

Bond energy: It is defined bond energy as the average value of the gas-phase bond dissociation energies for all bonds of the same type within the same chemical species.
