Question:

Referring to your solution to Problem 1.17d, calculate the bond order of the covalent bond in the H2+ ion. How does this result bear on the answer to Problem 1.18?


Problem 1.17d

Draw an orbital interaction diagram corresponding to Fig. 1.14 for each of the following species. Indicate which are likely to exist as diatomic species, and which would dissociate into monatomic fragments. Explain.(d) the H ion


Problem 1.18

The bond dissociation energy of H2 is 435 kJ mol–1 (104 kcal mol–1); that is, it takes this amount of energy to dissociate H2 into its atoms. Estimate the bond dissociation energy of H2+ and explain your answer.
