Ionisation enthalpy is one of the factors favoring the formation of ionic bonds. 1. Will you agree with this statement? 2. Explain how? 3. Write another factor favouring the formation of ionic bonds. |

Answer» 1. Yes. 2. In the formation of the ionic bond, a metal atom losses electrons to form cation. This process requires energy equal to the ionisation enthalpy. Lesser the ionisation enthalpy of the metal atom, easier will be the removal of electron from the atom to form cation and hence greater will be the tendency to form ionic bond. 3. Electron gain enthalpy of the element forming anion. |
