how to calculate bond length of ionic bond
Answers
Hey mate!!
here's your answer...
»To calculate bond length : -
»Length of the bond is determined by the number of bonded electrons (the bond order). The higher the bond order, the stronger the pull between the two atoms and the shorter the bond length. Generally, the length of the bond between two atoms is approximately the sum of the covalent radii of the two atoms.
»To determine the strength of an ionic bond:
»The strength of an ionic bond can be determined by looking at the difference in electronegativity within a compound. It can said that when the difference in electronegativity exceeds 1.7, the compound is ionic as the ionic character is greater than 50% (conversely, the covalent character is less than 50%).
