Control of Structure Why do elements and compounds adopt one structure as opposed to another?
Thermodynamics Review: G = H - TS Bond Strength Favored by strong bonds. Freedom of Movement Favored by more particles. Temperature Control?
Thermodynamics Review: G = H - TS Bond Strength Favored by strong bonds. Freedom of Movement Favored by more particles. Example: Cl-Cl vs. ClCl Cl-Cl bond strength = 242 kJ/mol So (Cl) = 165 J/Kmol So (Cl2) = 223 J/Kmol
Bonding Concerns and Trends: Number of bonds Type of bonds: sigma vs. pi
