Unit 2.7: VSEPR and Hybridization
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.
