Calculate the bond length (in picometers) of a chemical bond between bromine and sulfur.

Bromine—atomic radius: 119 pm; covalent radius: 114 pm; ionic radius: 182 pm.

Sulfur—atomic radius: 109 pm; covalent radius: 102 pm; ionic radius: 184 pm.

Respuesta :

The bond length of a chemical bond between bromine and sulfur is 216 picometers.

Explanation:

  • Bromine and sulfur reacts with each other to form Sulfur dibromide.
  • Sulfur dibromide is a covalent compound which means that a chemical bond exist between them is covalent bond.
  • So, for finding a bond length of a covalently bonded compound we need to add the covalent radiuses of the two atoms.

Given,

Covalent radius of bromine is 114 pm;

and  covalent radius of sulfur is102 pm.

 Bond length of the sulfur dibromide= Covalent radius of bromine +  covalent radius of sulfur

∴  Bond length = 114 + 102

∴  Bond length = 216 pm.
