How Bond length effects reactivity
  • 1 answers

Jaya Shanti 7 years, 8 months ago

As bond length increases, bond strength decreases. This is because the nuclei of the two atoms in the covalent bond are further apart, so there is a lower electrostatic force of attraction between the two nuclei and the shared pair of electrons between them. Bond length increases as the atomic radius of the atoms in the bond increases, and this increased bond length means that these molecules will react faster with other substances in chemical reactions as the bond enthalpy is lower so the bond is more easily broken (due to weaker intramolecular forces), therefore the substance is more reactive
