Document Summary

6. 1 overview of bonding: electron and nucleic are in constant motion. They exert and experience electrical forces, yielding a net electrical energy: chemical bond formation, electrons and nuclei in a molecule balance all interactions to give the molecule stability, balance is achieved when the electrons are. The sharing of the electrons by two nuclei is called a covalent bond. Wednesday, october 18, 2017: bond length and bond energy, bond length: the internuclear distance where the molecule is most stable, bond energy (aka bond strength): the amount of stability at the internuclear distance, molecules have constant vibrational motion. The fluorine atom has 7 valance electrons (2s^2 2p^5: each f needs to gain an electron to become isoelectronic with neon (2s^2 2p^6, each f has an unpaired electron in a p-orbital. The p- orbitals can overlap, allowing the two unpaired electrons to be shared: unequal electron sharing, a pure covalent bond occurs only when two identical atoms are bonded: n2,
