- The bond length in HI(1.62) is close to the sum of the atomic radii of H (0.37 Å) and I (1.33 Å). What does this fact indicate about the polarity of the bond?arrow_forwardThe lattice energy of an ionic solid such as NaCl is the enthalpy change H for the process in which the solid changes to ions. For example, NaCl(s)Na+(g)+Cl(g)H=786kJ/mol Assume that the ionization energy and electron a affinity are H values for the processes defined by those terms. The ionization energy of Na is 496 kJ/mol. Use this, the electron affinity from Table 8.4, and the lattice energy of NaCl to calculate H for the following process: Na(g)+Cl(g)NaCl(s)arrow_forwardCalculate the attraction and repulsion force between a pair of Ba2+ and S2- ions.
