Bond

[Chase Yonamine 1J]

In class, we discussed single, double, and triple bonds; however, is it possible to have a quadruple bond. And if so, what are the conditions?

[Chem_Mod]

For this course, they are extremely rare, and practically do not exist for our purposes.

[Hilda Sauceda 3C]

I am pretty sure that we do not have to worry about that for this class because of their complexity, but it would be fun to know.

[Madeline Motamedi 4I]

I actually have a question regarding the bonds that may be extremely obvious to some. If you have an atom bonded to another with a triple or double bond, is the bond more strong than a single bond or does it simply just mean that they are sharing three or two electrons rather than one?

[Porus_Karwa_2E]

I believe the bond is stronger when there are more bonds. So in terms of energy needed to break the bonds single<double<triple. Also, interestingly, for the length of a bond the more bonds an atom has the shorter the bond. So a triple bond is shorter than a double bond and a double bond is shorter than a single bond.

Quadruple bonds are extremely rare so I don't think for this class we need to worry about it.

[Andrewwiner4D]

I think they are possible (in a lab can be generated) but there are none naturally occurring, and like these people said^^definitely not for this class.

[Brandon Sanchez 3J]

They're hardly mentioned and rare so we would only have to be informed of the single, double, and triple bonds.

[Pritish Patil 1K]

They are rare and we do not need to worry about it for this course.

[Soyoung Park 1H]

As bonds increase, does energy increase? Also, are shared pairs stronger than lone pairs?
