Bonding difference between

As described in Chapter JT, melting points of solids may depend on both covalent bonds and intermolecular forces, so we must explain the melting point difference with reference to the bonding differences between the two forms. 

The double bond difference between the olefins and the paraffins is the quintessential difference between the petrochemicals and petroleum products— the petrochemicals industry depends much more on the chemical reactivity of the double-bonded molecules. While paraffins can be manipulated in refineries by separation or reshaping, olefins in a petrochemical plant are usually reacted with other organic compounds or another kind of atom or compound such as oxygen, chlorine, water, ammonia, or more of itself. The results are more complicated compounds useful in an increasing number of chemical applications. More on this in later chapters. 

C2H2 has a triple bond, whereas C2H6 consists only of single bonds. 1 point awarded for bond differences between C2H2 and C2H6.

As mentioned in Sect. B, the bonding in 3-connected clusters, such as the hydrocarbon clusters [CnHn] depicted in Fig. 2, may be described in terms of 3n/2 (2c - 2e) bonds which are localised along the cluster edges. We have applied TSH theory to study these molecules, in an attempt to rationalise bonding differences between 3-connected and deltahedral clusters152. ... 

The cleanliness of the supported copper and silver samples of Kavtaradze and Sokolova 200) has also been questioned 192). The suggestion of these authors 104) that the failure to observe stretching frequencies below 2000 cm" for CO adsorbed on the group Ib elements is a consequence of the electronic environment of the adsorbed species, and need not signify any structural bonding differences between adsorbed CO on these metals and on the transition metals is still a valid one. 

Unfortunately, this diene is not the desired product. Compare the diene with the desired product. Which cr bonds differ between them One C—H bond has to be made, and another has to be broken. Since the conditions are acidic, first make a new C—H bond by protonating a C=C tt bond. Then fragment the...

For reactions such as (3.40), the reverse rate constant is essentially diffusion limited so that k is fairly constant at 5xl0 M" s" (see p 27). However, if there are significant structural and bonding differences between HB and B , as with carbon acids, then k may be smaller. For a normal acid, with an acid dissociation constant K, one can calculate that Jtf 5xl0 °/irj. Note that, if is small (e.g., 10" ° M), then can be rather modest and could become rate limiting for a subsequent process that consumes B". The same analysis applies to reactions such as (3.41), where L 2xlO °M- s- . 

As indicated in Fig. 16.10 for Cf ", / r = 0.47 for emission from an excited (J = 5/2) state to a lower-lying (J = 11/2) state, while / r = 0.14 for emission to the ground state. In the case of the J = 5/2 state, it would be appropriate to monitor for fluorescence near 13000cm as well as near 20 000 cm The identification of the mechanisms of non-radiative relaxation of actinide ions in solution as well as in solids [57] remains an important area for research. Extensive experimental results for lanthanide systems are available for comparison with those obtained for actinide ions. It should be possible to explore sensitively bonding differences between selected actinides and lanthanides by examining their excited-state relaxation behavior.
