Bond dissociation energies electronegativity

The variety of fluoride compounds that exist and the wide spectrum of their preparation methods are related to the properties of fluorine, and above all to fluorine s high electronegativity. Low dissociation energy of the fluorine molecule, F2, relatively high energies of bond formation found in most fluoride compounds, as well as fluorine s strong oxidizing ability lead, in some cases, to spontaneous fluorination.

The entire set of molecules contained 782 bonds out of which 111 a-bonds were selected. The parameters were calculated by our methods to build a reactivity space with electronegativity difference, resonance effect parameter, bond polarizability, bond polarity, a-charge distribution, and bond dissociation energy as six coordinates. 

A measure of the ability of an atom within a molecule to attract bonding electrons toward itselP . For a bond between two atoms of different electronegativities, the electron molecular orbital cloud is not symmetric, and the atom with the higher electronegativity attracts the larger proportion of the cloud. The most popular quantitative description was presented by Pauling, who based his scale on bond dissociation energies (measured in kcal per mol). 

Similarly, one may ask how AF110111 would be expected to change in the series C—F, C—Cl, C—Br, and C—I or the series HF, HC1, HBr, and HI. The situation is simpler for these series, since both the electronegativity and orbital size vary but have the same effect on the bond dissociation energy. Variation in orbital size is approximately pro-... 

Not included in the previous survey are the efforts that have been made to relate polarizabilities to other properties. This would have been close to Pauling s heart since he was always, as a chemist, after trends and relationships. To make amends, the reader is referred to recent publications on connections to atomic ionization potentials[101], atomic softness[102], bond dissociation energies[103], and electronegativities[104].
