Bond Length and Bond Strength
Often, these forces influence physical characteristics (such as the melting point) of a substance. However, it still doesn't make sense to me because I've looked up the values for these bond types and clearly the ionic bond in NaCl is strong than the covalent bond in water between hydrogen and oxygen. Before we go into the details explaining the bong lengths and bond strengths in organic chemistry, let’s put a small summary for these two properties right from the beginning as it stays relevant for all types of bonds we are going to talk about. Also in 1916, Walther Kossel put forward a theory similar to Lewis' only his model assumed complete transfers of electrons between atoms, and was thus a model of ionic bonding. Both Lewis and Kossel structured their bonding models on that of Abegg's rule (1904). What we see is as the atoms become larger,...
