What happens when a diatomic molecule loses an electron Does the bond weaken?

No, it is not correct to say that the bond energy always decreases when a diatomic molecule loses an electron. F2 and O2 are counterexamples to this point. When a molecule loses an electron, it will come from the highest occupied molecular orbital. In both O2 and F2, this MO is an antibonding MO. Removing an electron from an antibonding MO *increases* the bond energy.

What happens when ionic bonds are put in water?
it is gonna dissolve in water water weaken ionic bonds
What happens to electric potential when the electric field is increased?
the electrical potential is also increased;electricity does not travel through wire but around the outside,which is why transmission lines are bare
What helps weaken high-energy bonds?
The bonds an be broken by hydrolysis.
What helps weaken high energy bonds so energy can be released?
enzymes
Why ch3co3h is weaker acid than ch3co2h?
CH2FCO2H is the stronger acid because the fluorine atom is nearer the carboxyl group and is, therefore, better able to exert its electron-withdrawing inductive effect. Remember: inductive effects weaken steadily as the distance between the substituent and the acidic group increases.
What happens to lens cells as you age?
they weaken and detoriate
What happens to molecules when they change from a sloid into a liquid?
The molecules gain energy so they break up the solid structure and move more freely, however, they still have some attraction. More energy is required to weaken this attraction This molecule to molecule attraction is weakest in gaseous state of matter
What happens to the muscles of astronauts who are in space for an extended period?

What happens to a cyclone as it moves over land?
Generally a cyclone will weaken as it hits land, especially if it is a tropical cyclone.
What happens to hurricanes when they were in land and then went to the ocean?
Hurricanes that strike land weaken rapidly. If they re-emerge onto water they have the opportunity to restrengthen.
