- Define the term lattice energy. Why, energetically, do ionic compounds form? Fig. 3-8 illustrates the energy changes involved in the formation of MgO(s) and NaF(s). Why is the lattice energy of MgO(s) so different from that of NaF(s)? The magnesium oxide is composed of Mg2+ and O2 ions. Energetically, why does Mg2+O2 form and not Mg+O? Why doesnt Mg3+O3 form?arrow_forwardFor each of the following, write an equation that corresponds to the energy given. a. lattice energy of NaCl b. lattice energy of NH4Br c. lattice energy of MgS d.

- Explain how bond energies can be used to estimate E for a reaction. Why is this an estimate of E? How do the product bond strengths compare to the reactant bond strengths for a reaction that releases energy? A reaction that gains energy? What is the relationship between the number of bonds between two atoms and bond strength? Bond length?arrow_forwardBond Enthalpy When atoms of the hypothetical element X are placed together, they rapidly undergo reaction to form the X2 molecule: X(g)+X(g)X2(g) a Would you predict that this reaction is exothermic or endothermic? Explain. b Is the bond enthalpy of X2 a positive or a negative quantity? Why? c Suppose H for the reaction is 500 kJ/mol. Estimate the bond enthalpy of the X2 molecule. d Another hypothetical molecular compound, Y2(g), has a bond enthalpy of 750 kJ/mol, and the molecular compound XY(g) has a bond enthalpy of 1500 kJ/mol. Using bond enthalpy information, calculate H for the following reaction. X2(g)+Y2(g)2XY(g) e Given the following information, as well as the information previously presented, predict whether or not the hypothetical ionic compound AX is likely to form. In this compound, A forms the A+ cation, and X forms the X anion. Be sure to justify your answer. Reaction: A(g)+12X2(g)AX(s)The first ionization energy of A(g) is 400 kJ/mol. The electron affinity of X(g) is 525 kJ/mol. The lattice energy of AX(s) is 100 kJ/mol. f If you predicted that no ionic compound would form from the reaction in Part e, what minimum amount of AX(s) lattice energy might lead to compound formation?arrow_forwardNitrosyl azide, N4O, is a pale yellow solid first synthesized in 1993.

- A resident expert on electronegativity comes up to visit with you. He makes two claims (seen below) about electronegativity with relation to covalent bonding. Is the expert correct or can you refute him with your knowledge of electronegativity? (a) If a diatomic molecule is made up of atoms X and Y, which have different electronegativities, the molecule must be polar. (b) The farther two atoms are apart in a bond, the larger the dipole moment will be.arrow_forwardTestosterone is an anabolic steroid. The structure of testosterone is shown below.

- The Lewis representation above depicts a reaction between a halogen (blue) and a main-group element from group (7A + (red). In this representation, each Y atom needs 1 electron(s) to complete its octet, and gains these electrons by forming bond(s) with atoms of X .
