(i) Give a detailed explanation why both anions and cations have different sizes compared to their parent atoms. (ii) Arrange the following series of ions in order of increasing size, and give the reason behind your answer. Ca2+, S2−, K+ , Cl−
Bond Parameters
Many factors decide the covalent bonding between atoms. Some of the bond parameters are bond angle, bond order, enthalpy, bond length, etc. These parameters decide what kind of bond will form in atoms. Hence it is crucial to understand these parameters in detail and understand how changing these parameters affects the kind of bonding or various characteristics.
Bond Dissociation Energy
The tendency of an atom to attract an electron is known as its electronegativity.
