Document Summary

Reaction mechanism the order of reactions and products that leads reactants to their products, can include various x (unknown) levels and reactants. Reaction intermediates substances x, substances that help get reactants to their products and are made and used by the reaction. Forming a bond is energetically favorable and releases energy when formed. Breaking a bond requires an input of energy. Coulo(cid:373)(cid:271)"s law of ele(cid:272)tri(cid:272) (cid:272)harge: opposite charges attract each other, like charges repel each other, (cid:1872)(cid:1872)(cid:1870)(cid:1853)(cid:1855)(cid:1872)(cid:1866)(cid:1859) (cid:1858)(cid:1867)(cid:1870)(cid:1855)(cid:1857)=(cid:1855)(cid:1867)(cid:1866)(cid:1871)(cid:1872)(cid:1853)(cid:1866)(cid:1872) (cid:4666)+ (cid:3030) (cid:3045)(cid:3032)(cid:4667)(cid:4666) (cid:3030) (cid:3045)(cid:3032)(cid:4667) (cid:3031)(cid:3046)(cid:3047)(cid:3030)(cid:3032)2. Bond strength the decrease in energy when a bond was formed. Bond length the closest atoms can be while also maximizing attraction (too close and the ele(cid:272)tro(cid:374)s will repel ea(cid:272)h other, too far a(cid:374)d the (cid:374)u(cid:272)lei (cid:272)a(cid:374)"t attra(cid:272)t the ele(cid:272)tro(cid:374)s) Covalent bond a bond that is formed by the sharing of electrons in order to attain octet formation.
