Cassini-oval description of atomic binding: New insights into the quantitative relationship between hardness
1Xiamen Medicine Research Institute, Xiamen, Fujian, China.
Abstract:
In this paper, the research hypothesis of conservation of hardness coefficient is put forward, and a mathematical formula for describing and analyzing the relationship between hardness coefficient and bond energy is established in this model. The binding process of two heteronuclear atoms can be represented by Cassini oval in dynamic form, every molecular state corresponds to one of these graphs; then the critical phenomena of molecular deformation are discovered and the calculated potential energy at the critical point is consistent with the experimental dissociation energy of molecules (R is 0.99999, P < 0.0001).

Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...
