What are the factors effecting the atomization
Accepted Answer
The factors affecting atomization include:
1. Bond Strength: Stronger bonds require more energy to break, leading to lower atomization energy.
2. Size of the Atom: Larger atoms have weaker bonds, resulting in lower atomization energy.
3. Electronic Configuration: Atoms with stable electronic configurations (e.g., noble gases) have higher atomization energy.
4. Ionization Energy: The ease of removing electrons from an atom affects atomization energy. Higher ionization energy leads to higher atomization energy.
5. Number of Bonds: Atoms with more bonds have higher atomization energy due to the increased bond energy that needs to be overcome.
6. Resonance: Resonance structures can lower the atomization energy by distributing the energy over multiple bonds.
7. Hybridization: The type of hybridization of atomic orbitals can influence bond strength and, consequently, atomization energy.
