4.2.4 State and explain the relationship between the number of bonds,
bond length and bond strength.
The greater the number of bonds, the shorter the bond lengths and the greater the
bond strength.
Multiple bonds have a greater number of shared electrons and therefore greater
electrostatic attraction between nuclei. Thus there is a greater pulling power on the
nuclei, bring the atoms closer together with greater strength.
4.2.5 Predict whether a compound of two elements would be covalent
from the position of the elements in the periodic table or from their
electronegativity values.
Covalent Bonds = non-metal + non-metal
In covalent bonds, the difference of electronegativity values is less than 1.8.
