❖ BOND PARAMETERS
➢ Bond Length
• The internuclear distance between two bonded atoms is called
bond length.
• Bond lengths are usually reported in picometres (pm). Bond
lengths are measured by X-ray diffraction, and electron diffraction
methods.

, ❖ Bond Angle
• The angle between the orbitals containing bonding -electron pairs
around the central atom in a molecule or ion is called bond angle.
• The bond angle is expressed in degrees. Bond angle helps in
determining the shape of the molecule/ ion.

❖ Bond Enthalpy
M
• The bond dissociation enthalpy (∆𝐷 H) is defined as “the enthalpy
change involving the breaking of one mole bonds of a particular
type in gaseous molecules”.
• Thus, the bond enthalpy of H - H bond is equal to the enthalpy
change for the reaction.
• H2(g) → 2H(g) ∆H = 433.4kJmol-1
