Explain the formation of a chemical bond.

Hide | Show

જવાબ : According to Kossel and Lewis, atoms combine together in order to complete their respective octets so as to acquire the stable inert gas configuration. This can occur in two ways; by transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to other or by sharing of electrons between two or more atoms.


What is meant by the term average bond enthalpy? Why is there a difference in bond enthalpy of O—H bond in ethanol (C2H5OH) and water?

 

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Similar bonds in a molecule do not have the same bond enthalpies. Mainly the term average bond enthalpy is used in polyatomic molecules. It is obtained by dividing bond dissociation enthalpy by the number of bonds broken. The bond enthalpy of OH bond is different in ethanol and water because of the difference in electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon. As electronegativity differs in hydrogen and oxygen is higher than that in carbon and oxygen, so the O-H bond in water has more bond enthalpy than in ethanol.
