Document Summary

O3 is nonpolar (i. e, doesn"t have a dipole moment) Has a longer s-o bond length than . 4. the c-o bond energy is greater in co. The bond length is the nuclear separation distance where a molecule is most stable (recall h2 at the beginning of this section). Atomic size . the smaller the atomic radii, the shorter the bond. The electronegativity well, it"s a little more complicated than the textbook suggests. the atomic radii influences the bond length more than the difference in electronegativity. ( ) between bonded atoms increases provided that the atoms are both in the same period. Vsepr describes the shape of molecules, but without any reason. There are two types of bonding that you"ll encounter in this section: : electrons are localized in the bonds between two atoms, : bonds delocalized over several atoms, which explains.
