Unit 2.2: Intramolecular Force and Potential Energy
Examine a potential energy vs. distance graph to determine bond length
and bond energy.
-
Interpret a given potential energy vs. distance graph to find bond
length and bond energy.
Identify the bond order of a bond.
- Determine the bond order for molecules such as O₂, N₂, and CO.
Compare the relative strength and length of single, double, and triple
bonds.
-
Rank single, double, and triple bonds in terms of bond strength and
bond length.
-
Explain why bond length decreases and bond strength increases from
single → triple bonds.
Apply Coulomb’s Law to compare the strength of given bonds.
-
Use Coulomb’s Law to compare the strength of bonds in molecules such
as HCl, NaCl, and F₂.
