10. How close do the atoms have to be to form a bond? The VAN DER WAALS RADIUS (r v ) of an atom X is measured as half of the distance of closest approach of 2 NON-BONDED atoms of X The COVALENT RADIUS (r cov ) of an atom X is taken as half of the internuclear distance (r) in a HOMONUCLEAR XX bond. The internuclear distance (r) in a bonded pair of atoms is called the BOND LENGTH This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License r

12. Hence, atoms must overlap to form a bond This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License Non-bonded atoms NO OVERLAP of atomic orbitals Bonded atoms OVERLAP of atomic orbitals The bigger the overlap, the SHORTER the bond. The shorter the bond, the STRONGER it is. Bond length
13. Bond Energy Sometimes called the BOND ENTHALPY The BOND ENERGY is the amount of energy required to break a bond: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License The larger the bond energy, the STRONGER the bond HH 2H The bond energy is, therefore, a measure of how strong a bond is:

18. Adjacent Lone Pair Effect This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License veryclose Because F is a small atom (look at its position on the Periodic Table it is the smallest of the 1 st row elements) its valence electrons are very close and tend to repel each other. The two atoms are forced apart and the bond is weakened This anomalous behaviour is common in 1 st row elements, particularly, N, O and F F F

Formation of Multiple bonds This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 UK: England & Wales License Can only make a single bond Could make a double bond (sharing both of its unpaired electrons with another atom) Could make a double or a triple bond.
