Difference Energy

AI Thread Summary

Calculating the bonding energy difference between O2 and O3 involves understanding the nature of their covalent bonds. O2 has a double bond, while O3 features resonance structures that contribute to its bonding characteristics. The bond energies can be determined using experimental data or computational chemistry methods. It's essential to consider factors like bond order and molecular geometry when analyzing these differences. Understanding these concepts will aid in accurately determining the energy variations between the two forms of oxygen.

How can i even approach trying to calculate the bonding energy difference in 02 and O3. it doens't seem that all covalent bonds should have the same energy in them. So how can i begin determining the difference in energy in these 2 states of Oxygen.

Thanks everyone!

Thread 'Light speedup question'

If light travels in a wave, couldn't we "speed it up" by making it travel in a straight line?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
