Chemistry Randos

HIGHER THE BOND ENERGY, SHORTER THE BOND (inverse)

Bond length is also inversely related to bond strength and the bond dissociation energy, as a stronger bond is also a shorter bond, however, there are also few exceptions (Ex, H-H and H-O, the latter one has longer and stronger bond).


SPECIFIC HEAT (Heat Capacity, C)

***"the amount of energy required to raise 1g of that substance by 1 degree Celsius"

- larger the value, harder it is to raise the temp (ex: wood's 2.1 > mercury's 0.1)
