Bond length

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bond length is according to IUPAC definition of the distance between two atomic centers within a chemical bond . The term bond length is defined differently within the scope of various experimental methods, which results in deviations that are generally small.

chemistry

In the case of crystalline solids with an ion or metal grid , the spacing between the grid components can be determined by X-ray or electron diffraction . Since different distances between the lattice planes can be measured in crystal lattices, the smallest distance is usually given as the bond length in tables.

In calcium fluoride , the distance between the calcium cations Ca 2+ and the fluoride anions F - 235  pm (1 pm = 10 −12  m). In metal lattices, the distance is between 200 pm and 500 pm, depending on the atomic size.

For a carbon-carbon bond (single) this distance is approx. 154 pm. For bond lengths of covalent bonds see here . Depending on the degree of polarization, hydrogen bonds have distances between 120 pm and 300 pm.
