Bond strength

[KiaraTenorio_14B]

What are the main factors that affect the bond strength of an atom?

[Maleeha Zaman 1K]

Hi Kiara, bond strength is dependent on bond length. Bond strength has an inverse relationship with bond length. For instance, triple bonds are very strong because they are very short, whereas single bonds are weaker because they are longer. You would need to draw the Lewis structure for a molecule to determine the length of its bonds, and in turn, determine the strength of its bonds.

The main factors that affect the bond strength of two covalently bonded atoms are whether it is a single bond, double bond or triple bond. Single bonds (and therefore longer) are the weakest bonds while triple bonds are the strongest (and therefore shorter). However when we talk about ionic bonds the main factors that affect these bonds are the charge and distance of the ions (the greater the charge and the smaller the ion, the stronger the bond).

[Romi Moore 3k]

Some factors that I can remember are bond length and the type of bond that is present. Shorter bonds are typically stronger, so if you have an atom that is double bonded, it is stronger that a single bond between two atoms. As for the types of bonds, the order of strength is covalent, ionic, hydrogen, then van der Waals. Those are all I can think of now, but maybe someone else knows of some other factors.

From what I know it could be what type of bond single<double<triple in terms of bond strength. It would also be the amount of energy needed to break the bond. Bond length affect strength to because the longer the bond is the weaker it is. There are more factors but these are the only ones I can really remember.

Bond strength is inversely proportional to bond length. Single bonds have the lowest strength and triple bonds have the most.

[kayleec1004]

The three different types of bonds single, double, triple. Bond strength single>double>triple (triple is the shortest and strongest to break).

[Ashrita Singh 2F]

One of the greatest factors that affect bond strength is bond length. The shorter the bond, the stronger it is. For example, a triple bond is shorter in comparison to a double or single bond, and it is also stronger in comparison to a triple bond.

Hi Kiara,

The main factor that affects the bond strength between two covalently bonded atoms is the bond's length. The bond strength is inversely proportional to the bond length. This means that the shorter the bond is, the stronger it is. Single bonds are the longest while triple bonds are the shortest. This means that single bonds are weaker than double and triple bonds.

Hi,

Bond length is the main item you want to consider, I believe. The shorter the bond length, the closer the nuclei and the stronger the attraction. The more bonds between atoms, the shorter the distance between them. Hope this helps :)

[Abhinav Amanaganti 3K]

Bond length and bond strength are inversely proportional: so shorter bonds are stronger while longer bonds are weaker. As the number of bonds increases, the length of the bond decreases: a double bond is shorter than a single bond and thus a double bond is also stronger than a single bond.

[Michael 1G]

Bond strength is determined by the length of a bond. Shorter bonds are stronger because they are pulling two atoms closer together. Longer bonds means there is less attraction between two atoms and therefore there is more distance. Single bonds are longest and weakest bonds while triple bonds are the strongest and shortest.

[Windell Viste 1K]

Like everyone has said, bond strength and bond length have an inverse relationship: the shorter it is, the stronger it is and the longer it is, the weaker it is. Single bonds are longer and triple bonds are shorter.

[Ayla3H]

As the length of a bond increases, the bond strength decreases. Thus, we can say that the length of a bond, otherwise known as the internuclear distance between two atoms, has an inverse relationship to the strength of a bond. Hope this helps!

Single bonds are the weakest, double bonds are the second weakest, and triple bonds are the strongest. This has to do with the length of the bonds since shorter bonds are stronger than longer bonds.

[SheaZenker_3F]

I think it goes sigma bonds are stronger than pi bonds. Then it is determined by the number of bonds, for example triple>double>single bond

[Valerie M Dis 2E]

The main factor that determines bond strength is bond length. Single bonds have the longest bonds, therefore they are the weakest. Triple bonds have the shortest bonds, making them the strongest.

[Nishan Reddy 3K]

Bond strength increases as the number of bonds increased (triple bond stronger than single bong) and or as the bond length decreases. This is the general rule but it is also good to look at how much covalent character there is because the more covalent character, the stronger the bond.

[Jamie Lau 2J]

Bond strength is mainly determined by bond length. The stronger the bond, the shorter the bond length, and the weaker the bond, the longer the bond length. Triple bonds are the shortest and therefore the strongest while single bonds are the longest and therefore the weakest.

[Amy Huynh 1B]

I think the factors that affect bond strength would be what type of bond is shared between two atoms. So for example, if atoms were bonded by a single bond it would be weaker than atoms bonded why a double bond.

[Bela Patel 2B]

The bond strength correlates with the bond length, with the shorter the bond, the stronger it is and the longer the bond the weaker it is. Single bonds are longer and are weaker, while triple bonds are shorter and are stronger.

[Claudia Longo 2J]

What are the main factors that affect the bond strength of an atom?

Main factors that affect bond strength of an atom (or molecule, for that matter) would be electronegativity differences between the atoms, the type of bond (sigma, pi, AKA single, double, and also triple), and also potential solvents if the compound is in a solution.
