Front

What happens to the strength of a bond as the length of the bond increases?

Back

It decreases.

Front

Back

francium, zinc, gallium, germanium, phosphorus

Front

What is the bond length for a single bond between Titanium (Ti) and Carbon (C)?

Back

2.09 Å

Front

What is the covalent character of a single bond between Boron (B) and Carbon (C)?

Back

94%.

Front

Define electronegativity.

Back

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

What is the trend of electronegativity in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Front

What is the relationship between bond length and bond strength?

Back

Longer bonds are generally weaker than shorter bonds.

Front

What factors influence the ionic character of a bond?

Back

The difference in electronegativities between the two atoms involved in the bond.

Front

What is the significance of a bond length of 2.09 Å between Ti and C?

Back

It indicates the distance between the nuclei of the two bonded atoms, which affects bond strength and stability.
