Bond strength radius

The curve of single-bond metallic radii for the elements of the first long period has a characteristic appearance (Fig. 3) which must be attributed in the main to variation in the type of bond orbital. The rapid decrease from potassium to chromium results from increase in bond strength due to increasing s-p and d-s—p hybridization. The linear section of the curve from chromium to nickel substantiates the assumption that the same bonding orbitals (hybrids of 2.56 3d orbitals, one 4s orbital, and 2.22 4p orbitals) are effective throughout this series. The increase in radius from nickel to copper is attributed not... 

As one traverses through the lanthanide series, there is a reduction in the cation size as the atomic number increases. This results in small differences in the strength of interactions of the ligand with the lanthanide ions. These trends are reflected in the IR spectra of these complexes in a few cases. Cousins and Hart (203) have observed an increase in Pp Q with decreasing lanthanide ion radius for the complexes of TPPO with lanthanide nitrates. This observation has been attributed to an increase in the Ln—O bond strength with an increase in the atomic number of the lanthanide ion.

This somewhat simplified picture of possible transitions from one mechanism to another can be expanded and supplemented by a finer differentiation of the factors influencing bond strength and catalyst acid-base properties. Such structural parameters are the number and nature of substituents on Ca and Cp and the nature of the group X. The action of a catalyst depends on its cation charge and radius, on anion basicity and on lattice and surface arrangement (for some details see ref. 67). A temperature increase usually shifts the mechanism in the direction of El. 

The effectiveness of overlap of bonding orbitals of ihe same symmetry appears to decrease as the principal quantum number increases and as the difference between the principal quantum numbers increases. This is reflected in the bond strengths shown in Table 10, The covalent radius of hydrogen is especially subject to effects of this kind, and has the values 0.3707, 0.362, 0.306. 0.284 and 0.293 A respectively in H2. HF. HCI. HBr and HI. The apparent anomaly of the P-P, S-S. and Cl-Cl bonds being stronger than the N—N. O-O. and F—F bonds has been considered in paragraph (I). 

The radius of charge circulation in the twisted molecule is not specified but should be of the order of the C—C bond length. In fact, using r = 117 pm, the calculated energy of 270 kJmol-1 agrees with the accepted 7r-bond strength in ethylene. 

Table 2 presents effective ionic radii for many metal ions. For any metal ion, the radius increases with coordination number since the greater number of bonds weakens the strength of any one bond. The radius of the most common coordination number is underlined in Table 2. The alkali and alkaline earth metal ions exhibit variable coordination numbers without strong directionality in bonding. Because they are of similar size, Ca + and Na+ of differing charges...

The final equilibrium concentrations of M+n and H+ depend, as in any chemical reaction, principally upon the activities of the two cations and upon the respective affinities of each for the resin. In general, the cation-resin bond strength increases with increasing charge on the cation, and decreases with increasing radius of the hydrated ion. A typical series, from strong to weak, is Th, La, Ce, Rare Earths, Y, Ba, Cs, Sr, K, NH4, Na, H.
