Terminology

■ Valence shells

■ Valence electrons

■ Lewis symbol


Types of bond

■ Electrovalent bond

■ Covalent bond

■ Coordinate covalent bond

■ Hydrogen bond

■ Metallic bond

■ Van der waal’s bond


Electrovalent bond or ionic bond

■ The bond formed between two or more than two atoms by the transfer of one or

more electrons among atoms

■ Loss of electrons by an atom of an element forms cation and gain of electrons by an

atom forms anion

■ Cations and anions are held together by an electrostatic force of attraction.

■ The number of electrons lost or gained by an atom of an element is called

electrovalency of the element.


Conditions for the formation of ionic bond

■ Ionisation energy: Energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from an

isolated gaseous atom in its ground state is called ionization energy of that element.

Low ionization energy favors ionic bond.

■ Electron affinity: Energy released when a neutral gaseous atom gains electron

giving an anion is called electron affinity.

High electron affinity favors ionic bond.

■ Lattice energy: Energy released when one mole of the crystal of the compound is

formed from its ions.

Higher lattice energy favors ionic bond.

■ Magnesium chloride

■ Sodium oxide


Characteristics of ionic compounds

■ Physical state

■ Solubility

■ Electrical conductivity

■ Brittleness

■ Melting and boiling point

■ Ionic bond is non-directional


COVALENT BOND

■ Definition: The bond formed by mutual sharing of electrons between combining

atoms of same or different elements

■ Covalency: The number of electrons which its atom contributes for sharing during

the covalent bond formation.

■ Conditions for the formation of covalent bond:

– Electron affinity: elements having nearly equal electron affinity

– Electronegativity: the combining elements having low electronegativity

difference.

– Ionization potential: elements having high ionization potential form covalent

bond.

Electronegativity is defined as a power of an element to attract electrons towards itself in a molecule.

Properties of covalent compounds

■ Physical state: exist in all three states i.e. solid, liquid and gases.

■ Melting and boiling point: low melting and boiling point.

■ Electrical conductivity: donot conduct electricity as they donot give charged particles

in solution.

■ Solubility: soluble in nonpolar solvents. Eg. Benzene, carbon tetrachloride

■ Directional nature: covalent bonds have directional nature thus have particular

geometrical shape.


Polarity of a covalent bond:Ionic character of a covalent bond

■ In homonuclear diatomic molecules (H2 , O2 , Cl2 etc. ) the shared electrons are equally distributed between the participating atoms. Such.bonds are called non-polar bonds. Eg. H-H, Cl-Cl, F-F etc.

■ When covalent bond is formed between the atoms of different elements, the atoms of the element having higher electronegativity attracts the shared electrons more towards itself and thus the polarity develops in the bond. Such bonds are called polar covalent bonds. Eg. HCl, HBr, HI etc.

■ Electronegativities in Pauling Scale:

H = 2.1, F = 4.0 , Cl = 3.0, Br = 2.8, I = 2.5

H F H Cl, H Br, H I

Electronegativities diff: 1.9 0.9 0.7 0.4

Polarity of H----X bond decreases


Dipole moments

■ Definition:

The product of charge (q) on either of the atoms and distant(d) between them is called dipole moment.

It is denoted by µ.

Mathematically,

µ = q x d

where, q = charge on any one atom,

d = distance between the atoms

Dipole moment is a vector quantity.

Unit: Debye (D)


Applications of dipole moment

■ In the calculation of percentage ionic character

■ In the determination of the polarity of bonds: Greater is the magnitude of dipole

moment of the molecule, higher will be the polarity of the bond.

– If µ = 0, the molecule is non – polar, and

– If µ = 0, the molecule is polar.

■ In the determination of shape of the molecules.

Knowing the dipole moment, the shape of the

molecule can be predicted.


Co-ordinate covalent bond or dative bond

■ Definition:

The bond formed by the sharing of electrons between combining atoms, in which both

the shared electrons are contributed by one of the bonded atoms only.

■ The atom which donates the shared pair of electrons is called a donor atom, and the

atom which accepts the shared pair of electrons is called an acceptor atom.

■ Conditions for the formation of a coordinate bond

– The donor atom after the formation of other bonds must be in octet state and

must possess a lone pair of electrons.

– The acceptor atom must require two electrons to attain its nearest noble gas

configuration.

HYDROGEN BONDING

■ Definition:

The force of attraction between hydrogen bonded with highly electronegative element (F

or O or N) and highly electronegative element (F or O or N) of same or different molecule

is called hydrogen bond.

Example: water, ammonia, HF, methanol

It is represented by a dotted line.

Hydrogen bond

δ--δ--δ+ δ+

Note: Bond energy of hydrogen bond is 2-10kcal/mol whereas bond energy of covalent bond is 50-100kcal/mol.


TYPES OF HYDROGEN BOND

■ INTERMOLECULAR HYDROGEN BOND:

■ Definition:

■ The force of attraction between hydrogen bonded with highly electronegative

element (F or O or N) and highly electronegative element (F or O or N) of different

molecule is called intermolecular hydrogen bond.

■ Examples: Water, water with methanol, methyl alcohol


TYPES OF HYDROGEN BOND

■ INTRAMOLECULAR HYDROGEN BOND: The force of attraction between hydrogen

bonded with highly electronegative element (F or O or N) and highly electronegative

element (F or O or N) of same molecule is called intramolecular hydrogen bond.

Intermolecular


Consequences of hydrogen bonding

■ Water is liquid but H2S is gas at room temperature.

■ Glycerol is more viscous than water.

■ Boiling point of o-nitrophenol is less than that of p-nitrophenol.

■ Decrease in volume during melting of ice.

■ Unusual melting and boiling points of hydrides of group VA, VIA and VIIA

Van der Waals’ Force

■ Definition:

The short lived attractive force existing between all kind of atoms, molecules and ions,

when they come closer, is called van der Waals’ force.

In 1873, J.D. van der Waals pointed out the force of interaction among the non polar

molecules and atoms.

In 1930, it was explained by Fritz London that the van der waals interaction arises due

to unsymmetrical distribution of electron cloud motion of the electrons around the

nucleus.

Also called as London Forces.


Metallic Bond

■ Definition:

The simultaneous force of attraction between the mobile electrons and the positively charged core is responsible for holding metal atoms together, which is known as metallic bond.

Electron pool theory■ Metallic lustre

■ Electrical conductivity

■ Malleability and ductility

■ Hardness

■ Thermal conductivity.


Resonance

■ Definition:

The phenomenon in which a molecule or ion cannot be represented be a

single structure rather it should be represented by more than one

structures to explain its properties, is called resonance.

Examples:

O3

SO3

Benzene
