Today, we compared the bond energies of several diatomic molecules and related the strength of the bonds to the bond length, number of bonds, and position of the elements on the Periodic Table (with regard to the properties of the element based upon its atomic structure). You were provided with three readings to assist with your understanding of bonding which will be useful in predicting reactions.
HW: Read the three handouts provided in class and make notes and/or write down questions about the readings.
