Strengths of Chemical Bonds, In CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics-, CRC Press Boca Raton. Tables with bond dissociation energies of diatomic molecules, bond dissociation enthalpies of polyatomic molecules, and standard enthalpies of formation of (mainly organic) radicals (at 298.15 K). The CRC Handbook is regularly updated, so the tables may vary according to the edition number. 

The force constant that is associated with the stretching vibration of a bond is often taken as a measure of the strength of the bond, although it is more correctly a measure of the curvature of the potential energy function around the minimum (Figure 2.1) that is, the rigidity of the bond. For a diatomic molecule, the frequency of vibration v is determined by the force constant k and the reduced mass /x = + m2), where m and m2 are the masses of... 

We now turn our attention to the interaction of an atom with a diatomic molecule. We consider three examples (i) Ar-HF, which is a traditional weakly bound system with a binding energy De(Ar-HF) of just 211 cm- (0.6 kcal/mol) (ii) H-CO", which is also weakly bound, Dg(H-CO ) = 8 kcal/mol, but results in large changes in the CO distance and (Hi) H-CO, a molecule whose bond strength is intermediate between the other atom-diatom systems considered and more traditional, strongly bound molecules (the H-CO bond strength is Just 19 kcal/mol). 

In the following, we will discuss a number of different adsorption systems that have been studied in particular using X-ray emission spectroscopy and valence band photoelectron spectroscopy coupled with DFT calculations. The systems are presented with a goal to obtain an overview of different interactions of adsorbates on surfaces. The main focus will be on bonding to transition metal surfaces, which is of relevance in many different applications in catalysis and electrochemistry. We have classified the interactions into five different groups with decreasing adsorption bond strength (1) radical chemisorption with a broken electron pair that is directly accessible for bond formation (2) interactions with unsaturated it electrons in diatomic molecules (3) interactions with unsaturated it electrons in hydrocarbons ... 

The strength of a bond, thermochemically speaking, must be measured by the energy required to break it. If we are dealing with a diatomic molecule, this should be given directly by the dissociation enthalpy...

Table 3.3.2 summarizes the various properties of second-row homonuclear diatomic molecules. In the last column of the table, we list the bond order between atoms A and B in the molecule AB. Simply put, the bond order is a number that gives an indication of its strength relative to that of a two-electron single bond. Thus the bond order ofHf (cr ) is 1/2, while that of H2 (afs) is 1. For a system with antibonding electrons, we take the simplistic view that one antibonding electron cancels out one bonding electron. Thus the bond orders in lief (ofs o-j 1) and He2 (ofs aj s2) are 1 /2 and 0, respectively, and helium is not expected to form a diatomic molecule.
