Is O2 always a double bond?

Dima020 [189]

O-O single bonds and H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecules.
H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecules.
O=O double bonds in $\text{O}_2$ molecules.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.

There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ need $2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two H atoms and one O atom in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule need $2 \times 1 + 2= 4$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two O atoms in an $\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{O}_2$ molecule need $2 \times 2 = 4$ more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $6 / 2 = 3$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule needs $4 / 2 = 2$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $4 /2= 2$ chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
There is no H atom in $\text{O}_2$ molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.

Wht are the trends for electronegativity and ionzation energy similar

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Along period electronegativity and ionization energy increases.

Along group electronegativity and ionization energy decreases.

Explanation:

Along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. Thus the attraction of the atoms for valance electrons increases. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required, and electronegativity also increases.

Along group:

As we move from top to bottom in periodic table the atomic sizes increases.The electrons are added in next energy level in every next element. Thus the valance electrons farther away from the nucleus and hold of nucleus becomes weaker, because of weak nuclear attraction atomic radii increases and electronegativity and ionization energy decreases.
