Question

I have question about ionic bonds

Answer 1

@Jemurray3 , whenever you are free

Answer 2

Go for it!

Answer 3

are you good with quantum mechanics and wave equation?

Answer 4

What's the question?

Answer 5

so in molecular bond, there are rotational and and virbrational energy

vibrational energy is given by

(n+1/2) h w

so what is vibrational energy for n=0 to n=1

?

Answer 6

I don't know what you mean. Do you mean how much energy does it require to excite the molecule into its n=1 mode of vibration?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

pretty clearly just hw, right? Because n=0 is hw/2, and n=1 is 3hw/2.

Answer 9

why is it just hw not hw/2?

Answer 10

or are we subtracting?

Answer 11

when n = 0, E = hw/2. When n = 1, E = 3hw/2. In order to get from one to the other, the system needs to increase in energy by hw.

Answer 12

got it

Answer 13

There are two types of bonds. Covalent and Ionic. In an ionic bond, electrons are lost and gained. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared.
