Video transcript

Hey everyone Where as is the following an ion or a molecule, and this is in regard to sulfur dioxide. Now, we've learned that an ion is a charged species, while a molecule is a neutral species. Now, looking at sulfur dioxide, we can see that we have a neutral species since we lack a charge. So this means that sulfur dioxide is in fact a molecule. Now, I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.

Given the following values for steps in the formation of CaO(s) from its elements, draw a Born–Haber cycle similar to that shown in Figure 6.7. Eea1 for O1g2 = -141 kJ/mol Eea2 for O1g2 = 745.1 kJ/mol Heat of sublimation for Ca1s2 = 178 kJ/mol Ei1 for Ca1g2 = 590 kJ/mol Ei1 for Ca1g2 = 1145 kJ/mol Bond dissociation energy for O21g2 = 498 kJ/mol Lattice energy for CaO1s2 = 3401 kJ/mol
