INTRODUCTION
A molecule is formed if it is more stable and has lower energy than the
individual atoms. Normally only electrons in the outermost shell of an atom
are involved in bond formation and in this process each atom attains a stable
electronic configuration of inert gas. Atoms may attain stable electronic
configuration in three different ways by loosing or gaining electrons by
sharing electrons. The attractive forces which hold various constituents
(atoms, ions etc) together in different chemical species are called chemical
bonds. Elements may be divided into three classes.
Electropositive elements, whose atoms give up one or more electrons
easily, they have low ionization potentials.
Electronegative elements, which can gain electrons. They have higher
value of electronegativity.
Elements which have little tendency to loose or gain electrons.
Three different types of bond may be formed depending on electropositive or
electronegative character of atoms involved.
Electropositive element + Electronegative element = Ionic bond
(electrovalent bond)

Electronegative element + Electronegative element = Covalent bond
or less electro positive + Electronegative element = Covalent bond
Electropositive + Electropositive element = Metallic bond.
ELECTROVALENCY
This type of valency involves transfer of electrons from one atom to another,
whereby each atom may attain octet in their outermost shell. The resulting
ions that are formed by gain or loss of electrons are held together by
electrostatic force of attraction due to opposite nature of their charges. The
reaction between potassium and chlorine to form potassium chloride is an
example of this type of valency.

Here potassium has one electron excess of it‘s octet and chlorine has one
deficit of octet. So potassium donates it‘s electron to chlorine forming an
ionic bond.

Here the oxygen accepts two electrons from calcium atom. It may be noted
that ionic bond is not a true bond as there is no proper overlap of orbitals.
Criteria for Ionic Bond:
One of the species must have electrons in excess of octet while the other
should be deficit of octet. Does this mean that all substance having surplus
electron and species having deficient electron would form ionic bond? The
answer is obviously no. Now you should ask why? The reasoning is that in an
ionic bond one of the species is cation and the other is anion. To form a
cation from a neutral atom energy must be supplied to remove the electron
and that energy is called ionization energy. Now it is obvious that lower the
ionization energy of the element the easier it is to remove the electron. To
form the anion, an electron adds up to a neutral atom and in this process
energy is released. This process is called electron affinity.
So for an ionic bond one of the species must have low ionization energy and
the other should have high electron affinity. Low ionization energy is mainly
exhibited by the alkali and alkaline earth metals and high electron affinity by
the halogen and chalcogens. Therefore this group of elements are
predominant in the field of ionic bonding.

Energy Change During the Formation of Ionic Bond
The formation of ionic bond can be consider to proceed in three steps
(a) Formation of gaseous cations
+ -A(g)+I.E. A (g)+ e
The energy required for this step is called ionization energy (I.E)
(b) Formation of gaseous anions
- -X(g)+ e X (g)+E.A
The energy released from this step is called electron affinity (E.A.)
(c) Packing of ions of opposite charges to form ionic solid
+ -A (g)+ X (g) AX(s)+ energy
The energy released in this step is called lattice energy.
Now for stable ionic bonding the total energy released should be more than
the energy required.
From the above discussion we can develop the factors which favour
formation of ionic bond and also determine its strength. These factors have
been discussed below:
(a) Ionization energy: In the formation of ionic bond a metal atom loses
electron to form cation. This process required energy equal to the

Page 7
ionization energy. Lesser the value of ionization energy, greater is the
tendency of the atom to form cation. For example, alkali metals form
cations quite easily because of the low values of ionization energies.
(b) Electron affinity: Electron affinity is the energy released when
gaseous atom accepts electron to form a negative ion. Thus, the value
of electron affinity gives the tendency of an atom to form anion. Now
greater the value of electron affinity more is the tendency of an atom
to form anion. For example, halogens having highest electron affinities
within their respective periods to form ionic compounds with metals
very easily.
(c) Lattice energy: Once the gaseous ions are formed, the ions of
opposite charges come close together and pack up three dimensionally
in a definite geometric pattern to form ionic crystal.
Since the packing of ions of opposite charges takes place as a result of
attractive force between them, the process is accompanied with the
release of energy referred to as lattice energy. Lattice energy may be
defined as the amount of energy released when one mole of ionic solid
is formed by the close packing of gaseous ion.
In short, the conditions for the stable ionic bonding are:
(a) I.E. of cation forming atom should be low:
(b) E.A. of anion – forming atom should be high;

(c) Lattice energy should be high.
Born Haber Cycle
Determination of lattice energy
The direct calculation of lattice enthalpy is quite difficult because the
required data is often not available. Therefore lattice enthalpy is determined
indirectly by the use of the Born – Haber cycle. The cycle uses ionization
enthalpies, electron gain enthalpies and other data for the calculation of
lattice enthalpies. The procedure is based on the Hess‘s law, which states
that the enthalpy of a reaction is the same, whether it takes place in a single
step or in more than one step. In order to understand it let us consider the
energy changes during the formation of sodium chloride from metallic
sodium and chlorine gas. The net energy change during the process is
represented by Hf.

Characteristics of ionic compounds:
The following are some of the general properties shown by these compounds
(i) Crystalline nature: These compounds are usually crystalline in nature
with constituent units as ions. Force of attraction between the ions is
non-directional and extends in all directions. Each ion is surrounded by a
number of oppositely charged ions and this number is called co-
ordination number. Hence they form three dimensional solid aggregates.
Since electrostatic forces of attraction act in all directions, therefore, the
ionic compounds do not posses directional characteristic and hence do
not show stereoisomerism.
(ii) Due to strong electrostatic attraction between these ions, the ionic
compounds have high melting and boiling points.
(iii) In solid state the ions are strongly attracted and hence are not free to
move. Therefore, in solid state, ionic compounds do not conduct
electricity. However, in fused state or in aqueous solution, the ions are
free to move and hence conduct electricity.

(iv) Solubility: Ionic compounds are fairly soluble in polar solvents and
insoluble in non-polar solvents. This is because the polar solvents have
high values of dielectric constant which defined as the capacity of the
solvent to weaken the force of attraction between the electrical charges
immersed in that solvent. This is why water, having high value of
dielectric constant, is one of the best solvents.
The solubility in polar solvents like water can also be explained by the dipole
nature of water where the oxygen of water is the negative and hydrogen being
positive, water molecules pull the ions of the ionic compound from the crystal
lattice. These ions are then surrounded by water dipoles with the oppositely
charged ends directed towards them. These solvated ions lead an independent
existence and are thus dissolved in water. The electrovalent compound
dissolves in the solvent if the value of the salvation energy is higher than the
lattice energy of that compounds.
AB Lattice energy A B
These ions are surrounded by solvent molecules. This process is exothermic
and is called solvation.

A x solv. A solv. energy

Page 12
The value of solvation energy depend on the relative size of the ions. Smaller
the ions more is the solvation. The non-polar solvents do not solvate ions and
thus do not release energy due to which they do not dissolve ionic compounds.
(v) Ionic reactions: Ionic compound furnish ions in solutions. Chemical
reactions are due to the presence of these ions. For example
2
2 4 4Na SO 2Na SO
2
2BaCl Ba 2Cl
COVALENCY
This type of valency involves sharing of electrons between the concerned
atoms to attain the octet configuration with the sharing pair being
contributed by both species equally. The atoms are then held by this
common pair of electrons acting as a bond, known as covalent bond. If two
atoms share more than one pair then multiple bonds are formed. Some
examples of covalent bonds are

When two hydrogen atoms form a bond, their atomic orbitals overlap to
produce a greater density of electron cloud along the line connecting the two
nuclei. In the simplified representations of the formation of H2O and NH3
molecules, the O—H and N—H bonds are also formed in a similar manner,
the bonding electron cloud having its maximum density on the lines
connecting the two nuclei. Such bonds are called sigma bonds ( -bond).
A covalent bond established between two atoms having the maximum
density of the electron cloud along the line connecting the centre of the
bonded atoms is called a -bond. A -bond is thus said to possess a
cylindrical symmetry along the internuclear axis.
Let us now consider the combination of two nitrogen atoms. Of the three
singly occupied p-orbitals in each, only one p-orbital from each nitrogen
(say, the px may undergo ―head –on‖ overlap to form a -bond. The other
two p-orbitals on each can no longer enter into a direct overlap. But each
p-orbital may undergo lateral overlap with the corresponding p-orbital on the
neighbour atom. Thus we have two additional overlaps, one by the two py
orbitals, and the other by the two pz orbitals. These overlaps are different
from the type of overlap in a -bond. For each set of p-orbitals, the overlap
results in accumulation of charge cloud on two sides of the internuclear axis.
The bonding electron cloud does no more posses an axial symmetry as with
the -bond; instead, it possess a plane of symmetry. For the overlap of the
pz atomic orbital, the xy plane provides this plane of symmetry; for the
overlap of the py atomic orbitals, the zx plane serves the purpose. Bonds

arising out of such orientation of the bonding electron cloud are designated
as -bonds. The bond formed by lateral overlap of two atomic orbitals having
maximum overlapping on both sides of the line connecting the centres of the
atoms is called a -bond. A -bond possess a plane of symmetry, often
referred to as the nodal plane.

CO-ORDINATE COVALENCY
A covalent bond results from the sharing of pair of electrons between two
atoms where each atom contributes one electron to the bond. It is also
possible to have an electron pair bond where both electrons originate from
one atom and none from the other. Such bonds are called coordinate bond
or dative bonds. Since in coordinate bonds two electrons are shared by two
atoms, they differ from normal covalent-bond only in the way they are
formed and once formed they are identical to normal covalent –bond.

If the bond formed is by overlapping then all the bonds will not be
equivalent so a new concept known as hybridization is introduced which can
explain the equivalent character of bonds.
s and p orbital belonging to the same atom having slightly different energies
mix together to produce same number of new set of orbital called as hybrid
orbital and the phenomenon is called as hybridization.
Important characteristics of hybridization
(i) The number of hybridized orbital is equal to number of orbitals that
get hybridized.
(ii) The hybrid orbitals are always equivalent in energy and shape.
(iii) The hybrid orbitals form more stable bond than the pure atom orbital.
(iv) The hybrid orbitals are directed in space in same preferred direction to
have some stable arrangement and giving suitable geometry to the
molecule.
Depending upon the different combination of s and p orbitals, these types of
hybridization are known.

Rule for determination of total number of hybrid orbitals
Detect the central atom along with the peripheral atoms.
Count the valence electrons of the central atom and the peripheral
atoms.
Divide the above value by 8. Then the quotient gives the number of
bonds and the remainder gives the non-bonded electrons. So number
of lone pair =non bonded electrons
2.
The number of bonds and the lone pair gives the total number of
hybrid orbitals.
An Example Will Make This Method Clear
SF4 Central atom S, Peripheral atom F
total number of valence electrons = 6 + (4 7) = 34
Now 34/8 = 4 2
8
Number of hybrid orbitals = 4 bonds + 1 lone pair)

So, five hybrid orbitals are necessary and hybridization mode is sp3d and it
is trigonal bipyramidal (TBP).
Note:
Whenever there are lone pairs in TBP geometry they should be placed
in equatorial position so that repulsion is minimum.

mind that though the hybridization is sp3d, so the shape should be T.B.P.

determined by the bonds not by the lone pairs. Here in ClF3 the bond
present (2 in axial and 1 in equatorial) gives the impression of T shape.

Now three arrangements are possible out of which A and B are same. A and
B can be inter converted by simple rotation of molecule. The basic difference
of (B) and (C) is that in (B) the lone pair is present in the anti position which
minimizes the repulsion which is not possible in structure (C) where the lone
pairs are adjacent. So in a octahedral structure the lone pairs must be
placed at the anti positions to minimize repulsion. So both structure (A) and
(B) are correct.

Here we see that fluorine is placed in axial position whereas bromine is
placed in equatorial position. It is the more electronegative element that is
placed in axial position and less electronegative element is placed in
equatorial position. Fluorine, being more electronegative pulls away bonded
electron towards itself more than that is done by bromine atom which results
in decrease in bp – bp repulsion and hence it is placed in axial position.
In this context it can also be noted that in T.B.P. shape the bond lengths are
not same. The equatorial bonds are smaller than axial bonds. But in square
bipyramidal shape, all bond lengths are same.

In the structure one bond is a double bond and the other 2 are single. The
position of the double bonds keeps changing in the figure. Since peripheral
atoms are isovalent, so contribution of the resonanting structures are equal.

VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION (VSEPR) THEORY
(SHAPES AND GEOMETRY OF MOLECULES)
Molecules exist in a variety of shapes. A number of physical and chemical
properties of molecules arise from and are affected by their shapes. For
example, the angular shape of the water molecules explains its many
characteristic properties while a linear shape does not.
The determination of the molecular geometry and the development of
theories for explaining the preferred geometrical shapes of molecules is an
integral part of chemical bonding. The VSEPR theory (model) is a simple
treatment for understanding the shapes of molecules.
Strictly speaking VSEPR theory is not a model of chemical bonding. It
provides a simple recipe for predicting the shapes of molecules. It is infact
an extension of the Lewis interpretation of bonding and is quite successful in
predicting the shapes of simple polyatomic molecules.
The basic assumptions of the VSEPR theory are that:
Pairs of electrons in the valence shell of a central atom repel each other

1. These pairs of electrons tend to occupy position in space that minimize
repulsions and thus maximize distance between them.
2. The valence shell is taken as a sphere with the electron pairs localizing
on the spherical surface at maximum distance from one another.
3. A multiple bonds are treated as a single super pair.
4. Where two or more resonance structures can depict a molecule, the
VSEPR model is applicable to any such structures
For the prediction of geometrical shapes of molecules with the help of VSEPR
model, it is convenient to divide molecules into two categories
Regular Geometry
Molecules in which the central atom has no lone pairs
Irregular Geometry
Molecules in which the central atom has one or more lone pairs, the lone
pair of electrons in molecules occupy more space as compared to the
bonding pair electrons. This causes greater repulsion between lone pairs of

Why the bond angle of H – C – H in methane (CH4) is 109° 28‘ while
H – N – H bond angle in NH3 is 107° though both carbon and nitrogen
are sp3 hybridized
Solution:
In CH4 there are 4 bond pair of electrons while in NH3 are 3 bond pair
of electrons and 1 lone pair of electrons. Since bond pair bond pair
repulsion is less than lone pair bond pair repulsion, in NH3 bond angle
is reduced from 109°28‘ to 107°.

Example 14:
Why bond angle in NH3 is 107° while in H2O it is 104.5°?
Solution:
In NH3, central nitrogen atom bears only one lone pair of electrons
whereas in H2O central oxygen atom bears two lone pair of electrons.
Since the repulsion between lone pair-lone pair and lone pair – bond
pair is more than that between bond pair-bond pair, the repulsion in
H2O is much greater than that in NH3 which results in contraction of
bond angle from 109°28‖ to 104.5° in water while in NH3 contraction is
less i.e. from 109°28‖ to 107°.
“If the electronegativity of the peripheral atoms is more, then the
bond angle will be less”.
For example if we consider NH3 and NF3, F – N – F bond angle will be lower
than H – N – H bond angle. This is because in NF3 the bond pair is displaced
more towards F and in NH3 it is displaced more towards N. So accordingly
the b.p. – b.p. interaction is less in NF3 and more in NH3.

Page 41
The bond angle of H2O is 104° while that that of F2O is 102°.
Solution:
Both H2O and F2O have a lone pair of electrons. But fluorine being
highly electronegative, the bond pair of electrons are drawn more
towards F in F2O, whereas in H2O it is drawn towards O. So in F2O the
bond pairs being displaced away from the central atom, has very little
tendency to open up the angle. But in H2O this opening up is more as
the bond pair electrons are closer to each other. So bond of F2O is
less than H2O.

In (A) the oxygen oxygen bond on the left is a double bond and the
oxygen oxygen bond on the right is a single bond. In B the situation is just
opposite. Experiment shows however, that the two bonds are identical.
Therefore neither structure A nor B can be correct.
One of the bonding pairs in ozone is spread over the region of all the three
atom rather than associated with particular oxygen oxygen bond. This
delocalised bonding is a type of bonding in which bonding pair of electrons is
spread over a number of atoms rather than localised between two.
Structures (A) and (B) are called resonating or canonical structures and C is
the resonance hybrid. This phenomenon is called resonance, a situation in
which more than one plausible structure can be written for a species and in
which the true structure cannot be written at all.

The positive charge should reside as far as possible on less
electronegative atom and negative charge on more electronegative
atom.
Like charge should not reside on adjacent atom
The larger the number of the resonating structures greater the
stability of species.
Greater number of covalency add to the stability of the molecule.

Solution:
Out of the structures listed above, the structure (III) is wrong since
the number of electron pairs on oxygen atoms are not permissible.
Similarly, the structures (II) has very little contribution towards the
hybrid because one of the oxygen atoms (electronegative) is show to
have positive charge. Carbon dioxide is best represented by structures
(I) and (IV).
FACTORS GOVERNING POLARIZATION AND POLARISABILITY
(FAJAN’S RULE)
Cation Size: Smaller is the cation more is the value of charge density
( ) and hence more its polarising power. As a result more covalent
character will develop. Let us take the example of the chlorides of the
alkaline earth metals. As we go down from Be to Ba the cation size
increases and the value of decreases which indicates that BaCl2 is
less covalent i.e. more ionic. This is well reflected in their melting
points. Melting points of BeCl2 = 405°C and BaCl2 = 960°C.
Cationic Charge: More is the charge on the cation, the higher is the
value of and higher is the polarising power. This can be well
illustrated by the example already given, NaBr and AlBr3. Here the
charge on Na is +1 while that on Al in +3, hence polarising power of Al

Page 46
is higher which in turn means a higher degree of covalency resulting in
a lowering of melting point of AlBr3 as compared to NaBr.
Noble Gas vs Pseudo Noble Gas Cation: A Pseudo noble gas cation
consists of a noble gas core surrounded by electron cloud due to filled
d-subshell. Since d-electrons provide inadequate shielding from the
nuclei charge due to relatively less penetration of orbitals into the
inner electron core, the effective nuclear charge (ENC) is relatively
larger than that of a noble gas cation of the same period. NaCl has got
a melting point of 800°C while CuCl has got melting point of 425°C.
The configuration of Cu+ = [Ar] 3d10 while that of Na+ = [Ne]. Due to
presence of d electrons ENC is more and therefore Cl– is more
polarised in CuCl leading to a higher degree of covalency and lower
melting point.
Anion Size: Larger is the anion, more is the polarisability and hence
more covalent character is expected. An e.g. of this is CaF2 and CaI2,
the former has melting point of 1400°C and latter has 575°C. The
larger size of I– ion compared to F– causes more polarization of the
molecule leading to a lowering of covalency and increasing in melting
point.
Anionic Charge: Larger is the anionic charge, the more is the
polarisability. A well illustrated example is the much higher degree of
covalency in magnesium nitride (3Mg++ 2N3–) compared to magnesium

fluoride (Mg++ 2F—). This is due to higher charge of nitride compare to
fluoride. These five factors are collectively known as Fajan‘s Rule.
Example 18:
The melting point of KCl is higher than that of AgCl though the crystal
radii of Ag+ and K+ ions are almost same.
Solution:
Now whenever any comparison is asked about the melting point of the
compounds which are fully ionic from the electron transfer concept it
means that the compound having lower melting point has got lesser
amount of ionic character than the other one. To analyse such a
question first find out the difference between the 2 given compounds.
Here in both the compounds the anion is the same. So the deciding
factor would be the cation. Now if the cation is different, then the
answer should be from the variation of the cation. Now in the above
example, the difference of the cation is their electronic configuration.
K+ = [Ar]; Ag+ = [Kr] 4d10. This is now a comparison between a noble
gas core and pseudo noble gas core, the analysis of which we have
already done. So try to finish off this answer.

Example 19:
AlF3 is ionic while AlCl3 is covalent.
Solution:
Since F– is smaller in size, its polarisability is less and therefore it is
having more ionic character. Whereas Cl being larger in size is having
more polarisability and hence more covalent character.

DIPOLE MOMENT
Difference in polarities of bonds is expressed on a numerical scale. The
polarity of a molecule is indicated in terms of dipole moment . To measure
dipole moment, a sample of the substance is placed between two electrically
charged plates. Polar molecules orient themselves in the electric field
causing the measured voltage between the plates to change.
The dipole moment is defined as the product of the distance separating
charges of equal magnitude and opposite sign, with the magnitude of the
charge. The distance between the positive and negative centres called the
bond length.
Thus, electric charge bond length= q d
As q is in the order of 1010 esu and d is in the order of 810 cm, is the order
of 1810 esu cm . Dipole moment is measured in ‗Debye‘ unit (D)
18 301D 10 esu cm 3.33 10 coulomb metre
Note:
(i) Generally as electronegativity difference increase in diatomic
molecules, polarity of bond between the atoms increases
therefore value of dipole moment increases.

(ii) Dipole moment is a vector quantity
(iii) A symmetrical molecule is non- polar even though it contains
polar bonds. For example, 2 3 4CO , BF , CCl etc because summation of
all bond moments present in the molecules cancel each other.

of dipole moment. For example, 2 3 3H O, CH OH, NH etc.

Solutions: The structure of CO2 is . This is a highly
symmetrical structure with a plane of symmetry passing through
the carbon. The bond dipole of C–O is directed towards oxygen
as it is the negative end. Here two equal dipoles acting in
opposite direction cancel each other and therefore the dipole
moment is zero.
Example 24. Dipole moment of CCl4 is zero while that of CHCl3 is non
zero.

Solution: Both CCl4 & CHCl3 have tetrahedral structure but CCl4 is
symmetrical while CHCl3 is non-symmetrical.
Due to the symmetrical structure of CCl4 the
resultant of bond dipoles comes out to be zero. But in case of
CHCl3 it is not possible as the presence of hydrogen introduces
some dissymmetry.
Example 25. Compare the dipole moment of H2O and F2O.
Solution: Let‘s draw the structure of both the compounds and then
analyse it.
In both H2O and F2O the structure is quite the same.
In H2O as O is more electronegative than hydrogen so the
resultant bond dipole is towards O, which means both the lone
pair and bond pair dipole are acting in the same direction and
dipole moment of H2O is high. In case of F2O the bond dipole is
acting towards fluorine, so in F2O the lone pair and bond pair
dipole are acting in opposition resulting in a low dipole.
In C-H, carbon being more electronegative the
dipole is projected towards C. Now the question comes whether
hybridization has anything to do with the dipole moment. The

Page 53
answer is obviously yes. If yes, why? Depending on the
hybridization state the electronegativity of carbon changes and
therefore the dipole moment of C-H bond will change. As the s
character in the hybridized state increases, the electronegativity
of C increases due to which C attracts the electron pair of C-H
bond more towards itself resulting in a high bond dipoles.
Now as we have said about carbon hydrogen
bonds, the question that is coming to your mind is whether we
would be dealing with organic compounds or not. Yes we would
be dealing with the organic compounds.
For instance but -2- ene. It exists in two forms cis and
Trans.
The trans isomer is symmetrical with the 2 methyl
groups in anti position. So the bond dipoles the two Me– C bonds
acting in opposition, cancel each other results into a zero dipole.
Whereas in cis isomer the dipoles do not cancel each other
resulting in a net dipole.

(C) CCl4 (D) CHI3
Solution: (B)
Example 27. Compare the dipole moment of cis 1, 2 dichloroethylene
and trans 1, 2 dichloroethylene.
Solution:
In the trans compound the C-Cl bond dipoles are equal and
at the same time acting in opposition cancel each other while in
cis compound the dipoles do not cancel each other resulting in a
higher value.
Generally all Trans compounds have a lower dipole
moment corresponding to Cis isomer, when both the
substituents attached to carbon atom are either electron
releasing or electron withdrawing.
PERCENTAGE OF IONIC CHARACTER

according to Fajan‘s rule. The percentage of ionic character in a compound
having some covalent character can be calculated by the following equation.
The percent ionic character =

there were opposite charges of one fundamental unit located at

Solution: Dipole moment = e d coulomb metre

Hence = 1.602 10–19 2.6 10–10 = 4.1652 10–29 Cm

= 4.8 10–10 0.83 10–8esu cm

The example given above is of a very familiar compound called
HF. The % ionic character is nearly 43.25%, so the % covalent
character is (100 – 43.25) = 56.75%. But from the octet rule
HF should have been a purely covalent compound but actually it
has some amount of ionic character in it, which is due to the
electronegativity difference of H and F. Similarly knowing the
bond length and observed dipole moment of HCl, the % ionic

character can be known. It was found that HCl has 17% ionic
character. Thus it can be clearly seen that although we call HCl
and HF as covalent compounds but it has got appreciable
amount of ionic character. So from now onwards we should call
a compound having more of ionic less of covalent and vice versa
rather than fully ionic or covalent.
BOND CHARACTERISTICS
1. Bond Length: The distance between the nuclei of two atoms bonded
together is termed as bond length or bond distance. It is expressed in
angstrom A
units or picometer (pm).
8 121A 10 cm;1pm 10 m
Bond length in ionic compound = c ar r
Similarly, in a covalent compound, bond length is obtained by
adding up the covalent (atomic) radii of two bonded atoms.
Bond length in covalent compound (AB) = A Br r
The factors such as resonance, electronegativity, hybridization, steric
effects, etc., which affect the radii of atoms, also apply to bond lengths.
Important features
(i) The bond length of the homonuclear diatomic molecules are twice the
covalent radii.
(ii) The lengths of double bonds are less than the lengths of single bonds
between the same two atoms, and triple bonds are even shorter than double
bonds.
Single bond > Double bond > Triple bond (decreasing bond length)

(IV) BOND LENGTH OF POLAR BOND IS SMALLER THAN THE THEORETICAL
NON-POLAR BOND LENGTH.
2. BOND ENERGY OR BOND STRENGTH: BOND ENERGY OR BOND
STRENGTH IS DEFINED AS THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY REQUIRED TO BREAK
A BOND IN MOLECULE.
Important features
(I) THE MAGNITUDE OF THE BOND ENERGY DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF
BONDING. MOST OF THE COVALENT BONDS HAVE ENERGY BETWEEN
50 TO 100 KCAL 1mol (200-400 KJ 1mol ). STRENGTH OF SIGMA BOND IS
MORE THAN THAT OF A -BOND.
(ii) A double bond in a diatomic molecules has a higher bond energy than a
single bond and a triple bond has a higher bond energy than a double
bond between the same atoms.
C C C C C C (decreasing bond length)
(iii) The magnitude of the bond energy depends on the size of the atoms
forming the bond, i.e. bond length. Shorter the bond length, higher is
the bond energy.
(iv) Resonance in the molecule affects the bond energy.

(v) The bond energy decreases with increase in number of lone pairs on the
bonded atom. This is due to electrostatic repulsion of lone pairs of
electrons of the two bonded atoms.
(vi) Homolytic and heterolytic fission involve different amounts of energies.
Generally the values are low for homolytic fission of the bond in
comparison to heterolytic fission.
(vii) Bond energy decreases down the group in case of similar molecules.
(viii) Bond energy increase in the following order:
2 3s p sp sp sp
C C N N O O
No lone pair One lone pair Two lone pair
3. Bond angles: Angle between two adjacent bonds at an atom in a
molecule made up of three or more atoms is known as the bond angle.
Bond angles mainly depend on the following three factors:
(i) Hybridization: Bond angle depends on the state of hybridization of
the central atom

4 3 2
Hybridization sp sp sp
Bond angle 109 28 120 180
Example CH BCl BeCl
Generally s- character increase in the hybrid bond, the bond angle
increases.
(ii) Lone pair repulsion: Bond angle is affected by the presence of lone
pair of electrons at the central atom. A lone pair of electrons at the
central atom always tries to repel the shared pair (bonded pair) of
electrons. Due to this, the bonds are displaced slightly inside resulting in
a decrease of bond angle.

decreases, bond angle decreases.
HYDROGEN BONDING
Introduction:
An atom of hydrogen linked covalently to a strongly electronegative atom
can establish an extra weak attachment to another electronegative atom in
the same or different molecules. This attachment is called a hydrogen bond.
To distinguish from a normal covalent bond, a hydrogen bond is represented
by a broken line eg X – H…Y where X & Y are two electronegative atoms. The
strength of hydrogen bond is quite low about 2-10 kcal mol–1 or 8.4–42 kJ
mol–1 as compared to a covalent bond strength 50–100 kcal mol–1 or 209 –
419 kJ mol–1
Conditions for Hydrogen Bonding:
Hydrogen should be linked to a highly electronegative element.
The size of the electronegative element must be small.
These two criteria are fulfilled by F, O, and N in the periodic
table. Greater the electronegativity and smaller the size, the stronger
is the hydrogen bond which is evident from the relative order of
energies of hydrogen bonds.
Types of Hydrogen Bonding:
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding: This type of bonding takes
place between two molecules of the same or different types. For
example,

Page 60
Intermolecular hydrogen bonding leads to molecular association in liquids
like water etc. Thus in water only a few percent of the water molecules
appear not to be hydrogen bonded even at 90°C. Breaking of those
hydrogen bonds throughout the entire liquid requires appreciable heat
energy. This is indicated in the relatively higher boiling points of hydrogen
bonded liquids. Crystalline hydrogen fluoride consists of the polymer (HF)n.
This has a zig-zag chain structure involving
H-bond.
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding: This type of bonding occurs
between atoms of the same molecule present on different sites.
Intramolecular hydrogen bonding gives rise to a closed ring structure
for which the term chelation is sometimes used. Examples are
o-nitrophenol, salicylaldehyde.
Effect of Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bonding has got a very pronounced effects on certain properties of
the molecules. They have got effects on

Boiling point
Acidity of different isomers
These can be evident from the following examples.
Example 30. H2O is a liquid at ordinary temperature while H2S is a gas
although both O and S belong to the same group of the periodic
table.
Solution: H2O is capable of forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
This is possible due to high electronegativity and small size of
oxygen. Due to intermolecular H-bonding, molecular association
takes place. As a result the effective molecular weight increases
and hence the boiling point increases. So H2O is a liquid. But in
H2S no hydrogen bonding is possible due to large size and less
electronegativity of S. So it‘s boiling point is equal to that of an
isolated H2S molecule and therefore it is a gas.
Example 31. Ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) has got a higher boiling point than
dimethyl ether
(CH3-O-CH3) although the molecular weight of both are same.
Solution: Though ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether have the same
molecular weight but in ethyl alcohol the hydrogen of the O-H
groups forms intermolecular hydrogen bonding with the OH group
in another molecule. But in case of ether the hydrogen is linked
to C is not so electronegative to encourage the hydrogen to from
hydrogen bonding.

Due to intermolecular H-bonding, ethyl alcohol remains in
the associated form and therefore boils at a higher temperature
compared to dimethyl ether.
Importance of Hydrogen Bonding in Biological Systems:
Hydrogen bonding plays a vital role in physiological systems. Proteins
contain chains of amino acids. The amino acid units are arranged in a spiral
form somewhat like a stretched coil spring (forming a helix). The N-H group
of each amino acid unit and the fourth C=O group following it along the
chain, establishes the N–H---O hydrogen bonds. These bonds are partly
responsible for the stability of the spiral structure. Double helix structure of
DNA also consists of two strands forming a double helix and are joined to
each other through hydrogen bond.
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
We have enough reasons to believe that a net attractive force operates
between molecules of a gas. Though weak in nature, this force is ultimately
responsible for liquifaction and solidification of gases. But we cannot explain
the nature of this force from the ideas of ionic and covalent bond developed
so far, particularly when we think of saturated molecules like H2, CH4, He
etc. The existence of intermolecular attraction in gases was first recognised
by Vanderwaal‘s and accordingly intermolecular forces have been termed as
Vanderwaal‘s forces. It has been established that such forces are also
present in the solid and liquid states of many substances. Collectively they
have also been termed London forces since their nature was first explained
by London using wave mechanics.

Page 63
Nature of Vanderwaal’s Forces:
The Vanderwaal‘s forces are very weak in comparison to other chemical
forces. In solid NH3 it amount to about 39 KJ mol–1 (bond energy N-H bond
= 389 KJ mol–1). The forces are non directional. The strength of
Vanderwaal‘s force increases as the size of the units linked increases. When
other factors (like H-bonding is absent), this can be appreciated by
comparison of the melting or boiling points of similar compounds in a group.
Origin of Intermolecular Forces:
Intermolecular forces may have a wide variety of origin.
Dipole-dipole interaction: This force would exist in any molecule
having a permanent dipole e.g. HF, HCl, H2O etc.
Ion-dipole interaction: These interactions are operative in
solvation and dissolution of ionic compounds in polar solvents.
Induced dipole interaction: These generate from the polarisation
of a neutral molecule by a charge or ion.
Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interaction: In non polar
molecules dipoles may generate due to temporary fluctuations in
electron density. These transient dipole can now induce dipole in
neighbouring molecules producing a weak temporary interaction.
METALLIC BONDING
Metals are characterised by bright, lustre, high electrical and thermal
conductivity, malleability, ductility and high tensile strength. A metallic
crystal consists of very large number of atoms arranged in a regular pattern.

Page 64
Different model have been proposed to explain the nature of metallic
bonding two most important modules are as follows
The electron sea Model
In this model a metal is assumed to consist of a lattice of positive ion (or
kernels) immersed in a sea of mobile valence electrons, which move freely
within the boundaries of a crystal. A positive kernel consists of the nucleus
of the atom together with its core on a kernel is, therefore, equal in
magnitude to the total valence electronic charge per atom. The free
electrons shield the positively charged ion cores from mutual electrostatic
repulsive forces which they would otherwise exert upon one another. In a
way these free electrons act as ‗glue‘ to hold the ion cores together.
The forces that hold the atoms together in a metal as a result of the
attraction between positive ions and surrounding freely mobile electrons are
known as metallic bonds.
Through the electron sea predated quantum mechanics it still satisfactorily
explains certain properties of the metals. The electrical and thermal
conductivity of metals for example, can be explained by the presence of
mobile electrons in metals. On applying an electron field, these mobile
electrons conduct electricity throughout the metals from one end to other.
Similarly, if one part of metal is heated, the mobile electrons in the part of

the metals acquire a large amount of kinetic energy. Being free and mobile,
these electrons move rapidly throughout the metal and conduct heat to the
other part of the metal.
On the whole this model is not satisfactory.
Example 32. Sodium metal conducts electricity because it
(A) is a soft metal
(B) contains only one valence electron
(C) has mobile electron
(D) reacts with water to form H2 gas
Solution: (C)
MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY
In Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT) the atoms in a molecule are supposed to
loose their individual control over the electrons. The nuclei of the bonded
atoms are considered to be present at equilibrium inter-nuclear positions.
The orbitals where the probability of finding the electrons is maximum are
multicentred orbitals called molecular orbitals extending over two or more
nuclei.
In MOT the atomic orbitals loose their identity and the total number of
electrons present are placed in MO‘s according to increasing energy
sequence (Auf Bau Principle) with due reference to Pauli‘s Exclusion Principle
and Hund‘s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity.
When a pair of atomic orbitals combine they give rise to a pair of molecular
orbitals, the bonding and the anti-bonding. The number of molecular orbitals
produced must always be equal to the number of atomic orbitals involved.

Electron density is increased for the bonding MO‘s in the inter-nuclear region
but decreased for the anti-bonding MO‘s, Shielding of the nuclei by increased
electron density in bonding MO‘s reduces inter nuclei repulsion and thus
stabilizes the molecule whereas lower electron density even as compared to
the individual atom in anti-bonding MO‘s increases the repulsion and
destabilizes the system.
In denotation of MO‘s, indicates head on overlap and represents side
ways overlap of orbitals. In simple homonuclear diatomic molecules the
order of MO‘s based on increasing energy is
This order is true except B2, C2 & N2. If the molecule contains unpaired
electrons in MO‘s it will be paramagnetic but if all the electrons are paired up
then the molecule will be diamagnetic.

Now formation of 2O means to remove an electron
from anti-bonding one, which means increase in B.O.
B.O. of 2O = ½ (6-1) = 2.5
2O means introduction of an e– in the anti-bonding
thereby reducing the bond order.

Example 35. Which of the following species have the bond order same as2N
?
(A)CN (B) OH
(C)NO (D) CO
Solution. In 2N no. of bonding electrons and anti bonding electrons are 10
and 4 respectively. Therefore the bond order is 10 4

those given only CN is isoelectronic with2N . Therefore CN has
the same bond order as 2N .
Hence (A) is correct

1.1.2 M.O. of Some Diatomic Heteronuclei Molecules
The molecular orbitals of heteronuclei diatomic molecules should differ from
those of homonuclei species because of unequal contribution from the
participating atomic orbitals. Let‘s take the example of CO.

The M.O. energy level diagram for CO should be similar to that of the
isoelectronic molecule N2. But C & O differ much in electronegativity and so
will their corresponding atomic orbitals. But the actual MO for this species is
very much complicated since it involves a hybridisation approach between
the orbital of oxygen and carbon.
HCl Molecule: Combination between the hydrogen 1s A.O‘s. and the
chlorine 1s, 2s, 2p & 3s orbitals can be ruled out because their energies are
too low. The combination of H 1s1 and 1
x3p gives both bonding and anti-
bonding orbitals, and the 2 electrons occupy the bonding M.O. leaving the
anti-bonding MO empty.
NO Molecule: The M.O. of NO is also quite complicated due to energy
difference of the atomic orbitals of N and O.
As the M.O.‘s of the heteronuclei species are quite complicated, so we should
concentrate in knowing the bond order and the magnetic behaviour.

Pb(5s25p2) shows two OS, +II and +IV. Here +II is more stable than +IV
which arises after loss of all four valence electrons. Reason given for more
stability of +II O.S. that 5s2 electrons are reluctant to participate in chemical
bonding because bond energy released after the bond formation is less than
that required to unpair these electrons (lead forms a weak covalent bond
because of greater bond length).
Example 36. Why does PbI4 not exist?
Solution: Pb(+IV) is less table than Pb(+II) due to inert pair effect and
therefore Pb(+IV) is reduced to Pb(+II) by I– which changes to
I2(I– is a good reducing agent)

Now 2N means removal of an electron from a bonding M.O. This
will decrease the B.O.
B.O. of 2N = ½ (5 – 0) = 2.5
Now again for 2N bond order is ½ (6–1) = 2.5
So from the bond order it may seem that both 2N &
2N may have
the same bond energy. But removal of an electron from a
diatomic species tend to decrease the inter electronic repulsion
and thereby shortens the bond length. So the bond energy
becomes more than compared to 2N
N2 > 2N >
2N
Exercise 2: The size of nitrogen is less than the size of chlorine.
Therefore, electron density in nitrogen is more than that of
chlorine. So, nitrogen forms hydrogen bonding leading to
association of molecules. Hence, NH3 is liquid. Hydrogen bonding
is not possible with chlorine.
