Hello Champions. Before drawing the Bond Haber Diagram, please recall enthalpy formation, enthalpy atomisation, ionisation energy, electron affinity, lattice energy and bond energy.

  • Enthalpy of Formation is the heat changed when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their most stable state.
  • Enthalpy atomisation is the heat absorbed when 1 mole of gaseous atoms is formed from its element in its most stable state at stated temperature and pressure 
  • Lattice energy is the energy released when one mole of a solid ionic compound is formed from its gaseous ions. 
  • First ionisation energy is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from a neutral gaseous atom in its ground state. 
  • Electron affinity the amount of energy change to added 1 mole of electron into 1 mole of gaseous atoms or ions in their ground state.
  • Bond energy is the energy required to break a chemical bond.
