Why the bond energy of HF is greater than HBr?

Fluorine has the highest electronegativity of any element. Therefore, the energy released when hydrogen and fluorine react is greater than the energy released when hydrogen and bromine react, and that energy must be resupplied to cause either bond to break.


What kind of bond is HBr?

HBr has an ionic bond.


Does HBr have a covalent bond?

Br is a halogen, which means that it has 7 valence electrons and needs one more in order to have a complete filled orbital. The H has 1 valence electron and needs 1 more in order to have a filled orbital. While another atom such as sodium bonding with Br would form an ionic bond, this doesn't happen when Br bonds with H due to the fact that the hydrogen atom is a lot smaller and its electron is closer to the nucleus so that it experiences a greater force of attraction to the nucleus. This means a greater amount of force required by the Br in order to "steal" the electron, which is more energy than is required for a covalent bond to form. Therefore, HBr has a coordinate covalent bond instead of an ionic bond.


What kind of covalent bond is HBr?

single covalent bond


Which molecule has a higher boiling point Cl2 or Br2?

HCL has a higher boiling point compared to HBr This is due to difference in electronegativity. H - 2.1 Cl - 3.0 Br - 2.8 The difference for HCl is 0.9, the difference for HBr is 0.7. The larger the difference in electronegavity means the stronger the bond. Large difference means greater attraction hence more energy is needed to overcome this bond.


Is Hbr non polar or Polar?

Polar!


Compare the strength of hydrogen bond in HF HCl HBr HI?

HF > HCl > HBr > HI Hydrogen-bond strength is determined by the electronegativity difference; since fluorine has the smallest radius, it exerts the greatest attractive force over the H+ cation, creating the strongest bond.


How many different elements make up HBr?

Generally HBr is hydrobromic acid which is formed due to the electrovalent or ionic bond between the ions of hydrogen and bromine.


What intermolecular forces are displayed by HBr?

HBr is a polar molecule: dipole-dipole forces. There are also dispersion forces between HBr molecules. The hydrogen bond is a special dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar N-H, O-H, or F-H bond and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.


Write the expression for Ka for the dissociation of HBr?

Ka = [H+].[Br-] / [HBr] However the value of this expression is very high, because HBr is a STRONG acid, meaning that much more than 99.9% of the HBr molecules in water are protolized (ionized), making [H+] and [Br-] equal to the original (added) HBr amount, and the [HBr]-value nearly zero.


Why HBr is weaker Acid than HCl?

actually HBr is stronger acid than HCl so i think you got something mixed up


How many single covalent bonds down at is the Lewis dot structure for hydrogen bromide?

The Lewis dot structure for hydrogen bromide (HBr) consists of a single covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and the bromine atom. So, there is one single covalent bond in the Lewis dot structure of HBr.
