Bond Strength
« on: September 06, 2006, 10:36:03 PM »
Generally, P=S double bond is known to be weaker than C=S double bond.
I would like to know which bond is weaker P=Se or P=S? Maybe, P=Se is weaker.  How much difference between them?
Please help me.

generally you have double bonds only if at least one element is second period

the atoms would to far away for a pi-bond otherwise

considering that P=Se would be even weaker than P=S because Selenium would be much too big for a pi bond

However, I would like to know how much different energy between them? In addition, about the reference

For that, you can always refer to any standard data handbook.

The NIST Chemistry Web Book is a good place to start.
