Vedantu 9,10 &11・2 minutes read

Nikita ma'am from Vedanta explains chemical bonding, covering Lewis rule, ionic bonds, polar and non-polar covalent bonds, and molecular orbital theory. The session emphasizes understanding bond theories for answering questions, including topics like Lewis Dot structure creation, bond parameters, VSEPR theory, and Valence bond theory, concluding with stability and magnetic properties related to bond order.

Insights

  • Chemical bonding is the attractive force that holds atoms together to form molecules, with Lewis symbols representing valence electrons and the octet rule guiding stable octets. The session covers various bond types, including ionic and covalent bonds, emphasizing electron transfer and sharing, and explains concepts like polar and non-polar covalent bonds, formal charge calculation, and limitations of the octet rule.
  • Molecular geometry is determined by the VSEPR theory, considering valence shell electron pairs' repulsion, leading to different shapes like linear, tetrahedral, trigonal, and octahedral. The text also explores resonance structures, dipole moments, and Fajan's rule, detailing factors influencing ionic bond formation, bond parameters like length and angle, and bond enthalpy. Valence bond theory elucidates sigma and pi bonds' formation, with bond order indicating bond strength and stability, affecting bond length and magnetic properties based on paired or unpaired electrons in molecular orbitals.

Bond Formation and Parameters in Chemistry

  • Ionic bond formation is influenced by the ionization enthalpy of metals and electron gain enthalpy of non-metals.
  • Bond parameters include bond length, which is the distance between two bonded atoms, and bond angle, such as the 104.5 degrees in oxygen due to lone pairs.
  • Bond enthalpy measures bond strength, while bond order is calculated by half the number of electrons minus bonding and lone pairs.
  • Lattice enthalpy is the energy needed to separate one mole of a compound to infinite distance.
  • Resonance structures involve different forms of a compound, with polarity determined by charge separation.
  • Dipole moment is denoted as the product of charge and distance, with questions often arising from polarity and Dapor Moment.
  • Fajan's rule emphasizes the relationship between cation size, anion size, and charge for ionic compounds.
  • VSEPR theory explains molecular shape based on valence shell electron pairs repulsion, with lone pairs causing maximum repulsion.
  • The VSEPR model applies to any true structure with multiple resonance structures, considering the arrangement of valence electrons and bonding atoms.
  • Geometry varies based on the presence or absence of lone pairs, affecting the number of electron pairs and resulting in different shapes like linear, trigonal, and tetrahedral.

Molecular Shapes and Bonding in Chemistry

  • Tetrahedral shape with a bond angle of 109.5 degrees, exemplified by CH4 and NH4.
  • AB5 shape results in trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry, as seen in PCl5 with axial and equatorial bonds.
  • AB6 shape forms an octahedral shape, with a central atom and equatorial bonds.
  • AB7 shape, exemplified by IF7, is pentagonal pyramidal with a lone pair of electrons.
  • AB3 shape, like NH3, is trigonal pyramidal with three bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons.
  • AB2E2 shape, like H2O, is tetrahedral with two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons.
  • AB4E shape, like SF4, results in seesaw molecular geometry.
  • AB3E2 shape, like ClF3, has two bond pairs and two lone pairs, forming a T shape.
  • AB5E shape, like BrF5, exhibits square pyramidal shape with five bond pairs and one lone pair.
  • Valence bond theory explains the formation of sigma and pi bonds through overlapping of atomic orbitals, with sigma bonds being stronger due to head-to-head overlapping.

Bond order, stability, and hydrogen bonding explained

  • Bond order is calculated as 1/2 * (Number of electrons in bonding - number of electrons in antibonding). For example, a bond order of zero indicates that the compound does not exist, while bond orders of 1, 2, and 3 correspond to single, double, and triple bonds respectively.
  • The stability of a molecule increases with a higher bond order, leading to shorter bond lengths. Additionally, the magnetic properties of a molecule can be determined by the presence of paired or unpaired electrons in molecular orbitals.
  • Hydrogen bonding involves interactions between hydrogen and highly electronegative elements like nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine. It can occur either intermolecularly between separate molecules or intramolecularly within the same molecule, with distinct differences between the two types of hydrogen bonding.
