Worked example: Interpreting potential energy curves of diatomic molecules | Khan Academy

Keep going! Check out the next lesson and practice what you’re learning:
www.khanacademy.org/science/a...
The length and energy of a bond are influenced by both the bond order and the size of the atoms in the bond. In general, the higher the bond order and the smaller the atoms, the shorter and stronger the bond. As shown in this video, we can use these relationships to match diatomic molecules to their potential energy curves. View more lessons or practice this subject at www.khanacademy.org/science/a...

I hope Khan Academy can cover all the topics of any subject before I go college 😅😅😅

[@maherhussein1999]

Unfortunately it's too late for me

[@user-be4yc2vr5c]

This video was great. Shined alot of light on the subject. Thank you very much! Should add spectrometer and chromatography to the tag. Wish I had this video years ago. lol

[@engjellabazaj1878]

Love the videos. They are so helpful

[@manuelsputnik]

This one was pretty intuitive.

[@shahirkhan6344]

Doesn't the concept of radius conflicting with the illustration of graph?

[@daviddrums2079]

Great video helped a lot so thank you

[@Psalm_23]

I'm doing nuclear engineering as well. These videos just come at me

[@robloxbigfan6045]

hi

[@sciencenerd7639]

I got it right

[@juliapetrillo1782]

Great video but the end confused me....According to increasing radii, the atoms rank : H, O, N So according to bond order AND radii of these atoms, wouldn't the trends BOTH match the bond energy? You said according to radii of atoms that you might suspect the salmon colored line to be Oxygen....Wouldn't O would be purple according to radii as well because its the second largest atom and purple line has second largest bond energy?

[@mr.fishstick_yt9955]

No because O is smaller than N because it has a higher nuclear charge

[@CarmensProjects]

my professor put questions about this topic on an exam TWO WEEKS BEFORE we were supposed to cover it. Wack

[@alankuo2727]

greater bond energy eg: triple bond would mean lower potential energy You've written the vertical axis as potential energy yet explain it as bond energy .. it doesn't quite make sense to me?

[@engjellabazaj1878]

First

[@detective_lawliet2468]

which chapter it is?? is it chemical bonding class 11 chapter

[@huzaifaabedeen7119]

Yes, I hope you passed 11 class

[@meenasharma9609]

Yeah

[@offline8200]

Neet 🙂😏🙃

[@huzaifaabedeen7119]

I am also preparing for Neet 23
