Ch.7 - Covalent Bonding and Electron-Dot Structures
Chapter 7, Problem 96
Use the following information plus the data given in Tables 6.2 and 6.3 to calculate the second electron affinity, Eea2, of oxygen. Is the O2-ion stable in the gas phase? Why is it stable in solid MgO? Heat of sublimation for Mg1s2 = +147.7 kJ/mol Bond dissociation energy for O21g2 = +498.4 kJ/mol Eea1 for O1g2 = -141.0 kJ/mol Net energy change for formation of MgO(s) from its elements = -601.7 kJ/mol
