dissociation energy
Do dissociation energy and electronegativity have the same trend? why or why not ?

Re: dissociation energy
While I don't remember going over this specifically in lecture, I do believe they have the same trend. The dissociation energy is the energy needed to break a bond; the more electronegative something is ->stronger the bond -> harder to break apart -> higher the dissociation energy. I believe as the electronegativity increases so does the dissociation energy.
(But I also know you have to factor in where the bonds are in relation to each other on the periodic table (to determine if it is covalent, ionic, etc). but I am honestly not sure how much that will effect the bond strength comparted to electronegativity.)
Hope that helps a little!

Re: dissociation energy
I believe as the bond dissociation energy increases the difference in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms increases and as the electronegativity of the atom “losing” the electron increases, the bond dissociation energy increases.

Re: dissociation energy
The dissociation energy of a particular bond will typically increase when the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond increases. As far as dissociation energy relative to a singular atom's electronegativity, I'm not sure if there's much that can be said unless the type of bond (i.e. the other atom involved) is known.
