Chemistry, asked by ssrikanth, 1 year ago

we know that, overlapping strength of sigma p-p is greater than sigma s-s, but then why hydrogen molecule has more bond energy than chlorine molecule, even if hydrogen has s-s sigma bond ?

Anupkashyap: isnt ss overlapping stronger?
ssrikanth: no, ss overlapping is not stronger than pp and sp overlapping because symmetrical charge distribution of electron cloud
Anupkashyap: yup.. sorry

This is due to the smaller bond length in hydrogen molecule compared to chlorine molecule.
