Single bond strength

The limiting parameter to be considered in attempting to develop a satisfactory method for controlling reactions of elemental fluorine is the weakest bond in the reactant compound. For hydrocarbons the average carbon—carbon single-bond strength is 351.5—368.2 kJ/mol (84—88 kcal/mol). The overall...

The empirical finding that increased strength of multiple bonds over electron-pair bonds is mainly caused by an increase in single-bond strength at the closer interatomic approach that becomes possible due to screening of inter-nuclear repulsion, can now be examined more closely. Whenever the number of valence-electron pairs on an atom exceeds the number of electron-pair bonds to that atom, the excess density may screen the nucleus. Screening becomes effective when the excess density occurs in atomic s-type states with an appreciable s contribution. The first-period diatomics considered before illustrate this screening condition well.

In a general way, the role of the cations depends on the valence, CN, and the related values of the single-bond strength. Cations of higher valence and lower coordination than the alkalis and alkaline earth oxides may also contribute, in part, to the network structure. We can list the cations in three groups. The different types of ion present in oxide glasses are summarized in Table 7.7. 

In equation (6.8) C is a constant giving the ratio of the stress to the resistance to deformation at the time the indentation ceases a is the ratio of average single bond strength to Si-0 bond strength. G and K are shear and bulk moduli, respectively, with G = E/2 + p) and K = E/3 1 - 2v). The Poisson ratio is estimated from the ionic oxide volume fraction compared to the Si02 volume fraction. For silica glass with no added modifier, a must equal 1 and C = 0.19.

The inorganic chemistry of lead is dominated by the divalent (2" ) oxidation state rather than the tetravalent (4 ) oxidation state. The divalent state is more dominant in Group IV B elements as the atomic number increases. Dominance of the divalent state occurs because, within Group IV B, there is a decrease in single bond strength with increasing atomic number [13].
