1.6.2 Bond strength
- Bond strength is a useful parameter to determine whether the derived structure is correct or not, at least whether the charge is neutral and stoichiomteric or not. Bond strength of an ion is defined as the ratio of the valence of an ion to its co-ordination, i.e.
- In a stoichiometric and charge neutral solid, the bond strengths of cations must be equal to those of anions. Alternatively, you can work out bond strength of one ion and from this, you can work out the valence of other ion which should match what is needed to maintain the stoichiometry and most cases, the common valence state.
