Direct transmetalation of organoboranes to organocopper reagents is not a general reaction. Because of dieir similar bond energies and electronegativities, diis trans-nietalation is linided to die preparation of alkenylcopper and unfiinctionalized... 

The quantitative relation between bond energy and electronegativity difference may be expressed by an equation. For a sii Ie covalent bond between two atoms A and B the extra energy due to the partial ionic character is approximately 23 (x — x ) 2 kcal/mole that is, it is proportional to the square of the difference in electronegativity of the two atoms, and the proportionality constant has the value 23 kcal/mole. For example, chlorine and fluorine have electronegativity values differing by 1 (Table 32-1) hence the heat of formation of GIF (containing... 

The trends in binary acid strengths across a period (e.g., CH,j < NHj < HjO < are not those predicted from trends in bond energies and electronegativity differences. The correlations used for vertical trends cannot be used for horizontal trends. This is because a horizontal series of compounds has different stoichiometries and different numbers of unshared pairs of electrons on the central atoms. 

Relationships between Bond Energies and Electronegativity and Hardness. In his efforts to correlate important chemical properties, Pauling recognized that the difference in electronegativity between two bonded atoms contributes to bond strength. He proposed the empirical relationship...

The trends in binary acid strengths across a period (e.g., CH4 < NH3 < H2O < HF) are not those predicted from trends in bond energies and electronegativity differences. 

Bond Energies and the Relative Electronegativity of Atoms.—In Table II there are collected the energies of single bonds obtained in the preceding sections. One additional value, obtained by a method to be described later, is also included 1.44 v. e. for N N. Under each bond energy is given the value for a normal covalent bond, calculated from additivity, and below that the difference A. It is seen that A is positive in twenty of the twenty-one cases. The exception, C I, may be due to experimental error, and be not real. 

The high reactivity of fluorine results from a combination of the low F—F bond energy and the high strength of bonds from fluorine to other atoms. The small size and high electronegativity of the F atom account for many of the other differences between fluorine and the other halogens.
