CHEMICAL BOND
Chemical bond is the force of attraction that
binds two atoms together A chemical bond
bal-ances the force of attraction and force of
repul-sion at a particular distance
A chemical bond is formed to:
attain the octet state
minimize energy
gain stability
decrease reactivity
When two atoms come close to each other,
forces of attraction and repulsion operate
between them The distance at which the
attrac-tive forces overcome repulsive forces is called
bond distance The potential energy for the
sys-tem is lowest, hence the bond is formed
Following are the six types of chemical bonds
They are listed in the decreasing order of their respective bond strengths
Trang 15Metallic bond, hydrogen bond and van der
Waals bond are interactions
Octet Rule
It was introduced by Lewis and Kossel
According to this rule, each atom tries to
obtain the octet state, that is, a state with
eight valence electrons
Exceptions to the octet rule
Transition metal ions like Cr3+, Mn2+
and Fe2+
Pseudo inert gas configuration cations
like Zn2+ and Cd2+
Contraction of octet state
The central atom is electron deficient or
does not have an octet state For example,
BeX2
4
BX36
AIX36
Ge (CH3)36e−
Expansion of octet state
The central atom has more than 8
electrons due to empty d-orbitals For
example, PCl5, SF6, OsF8, ICl3, etc
IONIC OR KERNEL BOND
An ionic bond is formed by the complete fer of valence electrons from a metal to a non-metal This was first studied by Kossel
Maximum number of electrons transferred
by a metal to non-metal is three, as in the case with AlF3 (Al metal transfers three elec-trons to F)
During electron transfer, the outermost orbit
of metal is destroyed The remaining portion
is called core or kernel, hence this bond is also called kernel bond
Nature of ionic bond is electrostatic or coloumbic force of attraction
Metal must have low ionization energy
Non-metals must have high electron affinity
Ions must have high lattice energy
Cation should be large with low tivity
Anion must be small with high tivity
Trang 16electronega-Born–Haber Cycle
The formation of an ionic compound in terms
of energy can be shown by Born–Haber cycle
It is also used to find lattice energy, ionization
energy and electron affinity
For the formation of an ionic solid, energy must
be released during its formation, that is, ΔH
must be negative
−E − U > S + ½ D + I
Properties of Ionic Compounds
1 Ionic compounds have solid crystalline
structures (flat surfaces), with definite
geometry, due to strong electrostatic force
of attraction as constituents are arranged in
a definite pattern
2 These compounds are hard in nature
Hardness ∝ Electrostatic force of
attraction
∝ Charge on ion
∝ 1 Ionic radius
3 Ionic compounds have high value of ing point, melting point and density due
boil-to strong electrostatic force of attraction
Boiling point, melting point ∝ Electrostatic force of attraction
Volatile nature
∝ 1
Electrostatic force of attraction
4 Ionic compounds show isomorphism, that is, they have same crystalline structure For exam-ple, all alums, NaF and MgO, ZnSO
4⋅7H2O and FeSO
Lattice Energy
Lattice energy is the energy needed to break an ionic solid molecule into its con-stitutent ions It is denoted by U
U ∝ Charge on ion ∝ 1 Size of ion
Hence, lattice energy for the following compounds increases in the order shown under:
NaCl < MgCl2 < AlCl3 < SiCl4
As charge on a metal atom increases, its size decreases
In case of univalent and bivalent ionic pounds, lattice energy decreases as follows:
Trang 17Bi-bi > Uni-bi or Bi-uni > Uni-uni
For example,
MgO > MgCl2 > NaCl
Some orders of lattice energy
(i) LiX > NaX > KX > RbX > CsX
(ii) LiF > LiCl > LiI
(iii) AgF > AgCl > AgI
(iv) BeO > MgO > CaO > SrO
9 Ionic compounds are soluble in polar
sol-vents like water due to high dielectric
con-stant of these solvents The force of attraction
between ions is destroyed and hence they
dissolve in the solvent
Facts Related to Solubility
If ΔH (hydration) > Lattice energy then
the ionic compound
is soluble
If ΔH (hydration) < Lattice energy then
the ionic compound
is insoluble
If ΔH (hydration) = Lattice energy then
the compound is at equilibrium state
Some Solubility Orders
a LiX < NaX < KX < RbX < CsX
b LiOH < NaOH < KOH < RbOH <
CsOH
c BeX2 < MgX2 < CaX2 < BaX2
d Be(OH)2 < Mg(OH)2 < Ca(OH)2 <
Ba(OH)2
e BeSO4 > MgSO4 > CaSO4 > SrSO4 >
BaSO4
f AIF3 > AlCl3 > AlBr3 > AlI3
Crystals of high ionic charges are less
soluble For example, compounds of
CO3–2, SO4–2, PO4–3 are less soluble
Compounds Ba+2, Pb+2 are insoluble as lattice energy > ΔHhy
Compounds of Ag (salts) are insoluble as lattice energy > ΔHhy
Presence of common ions decrease bility For example, solubility of AgCl decreases in presence of AgNO3 or KCl, due to the presence of common ions, that is, Ag+ and Cl− respectively

part of IIT-JEE syllabus but has been cussed for the better understanding of the chapter
dis-COVALENT BOND
A covalent bond is formed by the equal ing of electrons between two similar or different atoms
If atoms are same or their electronegativity
is same, the covalent bond between them is non-polar For example, X – X, O = O, N ≡ N
If atoms are different or have different value
of electronegativity, the covalent bond formed between them is polar For example, +δ −δ +δ, +δ −δ
H − O − H, H − X The number of electrons shared or covalent bonds represent covalency
One atom can share maximum three electrons with another atom For example, in ammonia the covalency of nitrogen atom is three
Properties of Covalent Compounds
1 Covalent compounds mostly occur in uid and gaseous state but if molecular weight of the compound is high they may occur in solid state too
Trang 18For example, F2, Cl2 Br2 I2
‘g’ ‘g’ ‘l’ ‘s’
Glucose SugarMolecular wt 180 342
(less solid) (more solid)
2 Solubility of these compounds follows the
concepts ‘like dissolves like’, that is,
non-polar solute dissolves in non-non-polar solvent
For example, CCl4 dissolves in organic
solvents Similarly, polar solutes dissolves
in polar solvent For example, alcohol and
ammonia dissolve in water
3 Covalent compounds have lower boiling
point and melting point values than those
of ionic compounds This is because
cova-lent bond is a weak van der Waals force in
nature
For example, KOH > HX
ionic force van der
of attarction Waals forces
Boiling point and melting point
H-bonding weight decreases
4 Covalent compounds are non-conductors
due to absence of free ions, but graphite is
a conductor, as the free electrons are
avail-able in its hexagonal sheet like structure
In case of diamond, the structure is
tetra-hedral hence free electrons are not
avail-able Therefore, it is not a conductor
5 Covalent bond is directional, hence these
compounds can show structural and space
isomerisms
6 The reactions involving covalent bond are
slow as these need higher activation energy
COORDINATE OR DATIVE SEMI-POLAR BOND
Coordinate bond is a special type of bond which
is formed by donation of electron pair from the donor to the receiver, that is, it involves par-tial transfer or unequal sharing of electrons It is denoted as ( ) from donor to receiver
Donor or Receiver Lewis base Lewis acidCoordinate bond is intermediate between ionic and covalent bonds, but more closely resembles
a covalent bond The properties of coordinate compounds are more close to covalent com-pounds For example,
HNHO
HBF
FF
HOH
H, NH4+, K4[Fe(CN)6], N2O+
ClCl
Fig 1.2
MODERN CONCEPT OF COVALENT BOND
The nature of covalent bond is explained on the basis of Heitler–London’s Valence bond theory,
Trang 19Pauling and Slater’s overlapping theory and
Hund, Mullikan’s theory
Valence Bond Theory or
Heitler–London Theory
Orbital concept of covalent bond was
intro-duced by Heitler and London According to this
concept, “A covalent bond is formed due to the
half-filled atomic orbitals having electrons with
opposite spin to each other”
Features
1 The atoms should have unpaired electrons
to form a covalent bond
2 A covalent bond is formed by the pairing
of electrons
3 The maximum electron density lies
between the bonded atoms
4 There is a tendency to form close shells of
the atom, though the octet is not attained
in BeCl2, BF3, etc., and is exceeded in PCl5,
SF6, IF7, etc
Due to overlapping the potential energy of
system decreases
The internuclear distance with maximum
overlapping and greater decrease of potential
energy is known as bond length
Limitations
1 It cannot explain the formation of odd
electron molecule such as ClO3, NO, H2+,
etc In such molecules, electron pairing
does not take place
2 It cannot explain the formation of
coordinate bond where only one atom
donates a lone pair of electrons to the other
atom, molecule or ion
3 It cannot explain the formation of π-bond
4 It cannot explain the stereochemistry of
the molecules and ions
Pauling and Slater’s Theory
It deals with the directional nature of the bond formed and is simply an extension of Heitler–
London theory
1 Greater the overlapping, stronger will be the bond formed It means bond strength depends upon the overlapping and is directly proportional to the extent of overlapping
2 A spherically symmetrical orbit, say, s-orbital will not show any preference in direction whereas non-spherical orbitals, say, p- or d-orbitals will tend to form a bond in the direction of maximum electron density with the orbital
REMEMBER
The overlapping of the orbitals of only those electrons which take part in the bond formation will occur and not with the electrons of other atoms
The wave function of an electron of s-orbital is spherically symmetrical, therefore such an electron exhibits no directional preference in bond forma-tion The two orbitals having similar energy level, the one which is more directionally concentrated, will form a stronger bond
Strongness of overlapping ∝ mode of overlapping
For example, linear overlapping is stronger than lateral overlapping
Strongness of overlapping ∝ directional nature of orbital
For example,p-p > s-p > s-s > p-pLinear or axial Lateral overlapping overlapping
Trang 20Types of Overlapping
1 s-s Overlapping: Overlapping between
s-s electrons of two similar or dissimilar
atoms is called s-s overlapping and forms a
single covalent bond
Fig 1.3 Formation of hydrogen molecule by
s-s overlapping.
2 s-p Overlapping: Overlapping between
s and p electrons is called s-p
Strong bond can be formed only when
hydrogen electrons approach in the
direc-tion of X, Y and Z axis at right angles to
each other
s — p
Fig 1.4
3 p-p Overlapping: p-p overlapping is
formed by the overlapping of the p-orbitals
of the atoms In case of chlorine molecule,
it is formed by the overlapping of the 3pz orbitals of two chlorine atoms
It is determined by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods
In case of ionic compounds, it is the sum of ionic radius of cation and anion, while in case
of covalent compounds, it is sum of their covalent radius
Factors affecting bond length
Bond length ∝ Size of atom For example,
HF < HCI < HBr < HI (Atomic size)
Since F < CI < Br < I Bond length ∝ _ 1
Bond order or multiplicity For example, C – C > C = C > C ≡ C
Trang 21Resonance and hyperconjugation also
change bond length
For example, in benzene, C – C bond length is
1.39 Å, that is, in between C – C and C=C
Bond Energy
It is the energy needed to break one mole of
bond of a particular type, so as to separate
them into gaseous atoms It is also called
bond dissociation energy
Bond energy can also be defined as the energy
released during the formation of one mole of
a particular bond
Factors affecting bond energy
Bond energy ∝ Bond order or multiplicity
It is the angle between the lines representing
the directions of the bonds or the orbitals
hav-ing bondhav-ing pair of electrons
Factors affecting bond angle
Bond angle ∝ Bond order ∝ s%
∝ 1 Bond length For example,
Size of terminal atom For example, I2O > Br2O > Cl2O > OF2 Bond angle
∝ _ 1 Size of central atom/electronegativity Normally, bond angle decreases when we move down the group, as electronegativity decreases
For example, NH3 > PH3 > AsH3 > BiH3
H2O > H2S > H2Se > H2Te
BF3 > PF3 > ClF3 Bond angle ∝ Electronegativity of terminal atom
For example, PF3 > PCl3 < PBr3 < PI3
PF3 has more bond angle than PCl3 due to pπ-dπ bonding
REMEMBER
PF3 has greater bond angle when compared
to PH3 due to resonance in PF3, where a ble bond character develops NH3 has more bond angle value than NF3 as F-atom pulls the bpe– away from N-atom in NF3
Trang 22dou-POLORIZATION AND FAJAN’S
RULE
When cation and anion are close to each other,
the shape of anion is distorted by the cation This
is known as polarization Due to this, covalent
nature develops in an ionic molecule
Polarization ∝ Covalent nature ∝ 1
Polarization or covalent nature is explained
by the following rules:
Charge on Cation Polarization, covalent
nature or polarizing power of a cation ∝
charge on cation That is greater the charge
on cation, greater will be its polarizing
power and more will be covalent nature
For example,
SiCl4 > AlCl3 > MgCl2 > NaCl
Size of Cation When the charge is same and
the anion is common, consider that the
cova-lent nature ∝ _ 1
Size of cation That is, smaller cation has more polarizing
power
For example,
LiCl > NaCl > KCl > RbCl > CsCl
Max covalent Max ionic
Least ionic Least covalent
Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+
Smallest Largest
Size of Anion This property is taken into
account when the charges are same and
the cation is common
Polarization or covalent nature ∝ size
of anion Hence, larger anions are more polarized
For example, LiF < LiCl < LiBr > LiI Since, F− < Cl− < Br− < I−
Larger the size of anion, easier will be its polarization
A cation with 18 valence electrons has more polarizing power than a cation with 8 valence electrons
For example, Group IB > Group IA
Cu+ Na+
Αg+ K+ Group IIB > Group IIA
Zn+2 Mg+2 For example, ZnO > MgO

Trang 24Ammonia has more dipole moment than NF3
as in ammonia μ (net) is in the direction of lone pair electrons i.e., it is additive while in NF3 μ (net) is opposite to lone pair i.e., substractive
Dipole moment of a cis-alkene is more than trans-alkene In trans-alkenes, it is zero due
to symmetry in most of the cases
Dipole Moment of Some Common Molecules
Exception: Unsymmetric alkenes with odd
number of carbon atoms have some value of
dipole moment
For example, trans-2-pentene

π-bonds 1 2
Strength of s- and π-Bonds
The strength of a bond depends upon the extent
of overlapping of half-filled atomic orbitals
The extent of overlapping between two atoms
is always greater when there is end-to-end
overlapping of orbitals Therefore, a σ-bond is
always stronger than π-bond
REMEMBER
It is the number of unpaired s- or p-electrons
present in its atom in the ground state Thus,
covalency of hydrogen atom is 1

10 kcal per mole, 7 kcal per mole and 2 kcal mole, respectively HF > H2O > NH3 Hydrogen bonding is of the following two types:

Facts Related to Intermolecular
Hydrogen Bonding
One water molecule can form hydrogen
bonding with four other water molecules
Due to hydrogen bonding in water, the water
molecules are closely packed, hence water has
less volume but more density than ice where
an open cage like structure is observed
Water has maximum density at 4°C as above
4°C some hydrogen bonds are broken
lead-ing to a decrease in the density
Two ice cubes when pressed against each
other, form one block due to hydrogen
bonding
Effects of Intermolecular
H-bonding
Increase in boiling point, melting point,
solubility, thermal stability, viscosity, surface
tension and occurence liquid state is observed
as molecules get associated more closely due
to intermolecular H-bonding
HF is a liquid and has a higher boiling point than other HX molecules which are gases at room temperature (Here X = halogens)
Alcohols are highly soluble in water in any proportion and have higher boiling points than others which are very less soluble in water
Glycerol is highly viscous with a high boiling point
Glycerol > Glycol > C2 H5OHB.P., Viscosity decrease Acids have higher boiling point and solubil-ity than their corresponding acid derivatives
In DNA and RNA, the complementary strands are held together by intermolecular H-bonding between the nitrogenous bases of the two strands
Nucleic acid and proteins are held together
by hydrogen bonds
KHF2 or HF2− exists due to hydrogen ing, but formation of other HX2− (for exam-ple HCl2) is not possible, due to absence of hydrogen bonding because of large sizes of the halogen atoms
The extent of hydrogen bonding in water is higher than H2O, hence it has a higher boil-ing point than HF
H2O > HF > NH3 Acids can dimerize due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding For example, acetic acid dimerizes in benzene

Other examples include
pyridine-2-carbon-aldoxime and o-hydroxybenzoic acid, chloral

Effects of Intramolecular
H-bonding
Due to this bonding the boiling point and
acidic nature of the molecule decrease but its
volatile nature increases
O-nitrophenol has a lower boiling point and
reduced acidic nature, but is more volatile
than p-nitrophenol A mixture of both these
componds can be separated by steam
distilla-tion method
Resonance
When all the properties of a molecule cannot
be explained by a single structural formula,
then such molecules are represented by many
structural formulas that are canonical
struc-tures or contributing or resonating structural
representating a single compound
It is observed due to the delocalization of π
electrons
Facts About Canonical Structures
Canonical structures for a given molecule
have the same arrangement of atoms
Position and arrangement of atoms are same
in canonical structures, they only differ in
the distribution of electrons
Canonical structures are depicted by the
symbol (↔) betweem them
Canonical structures should be planar or
nearly planar
Total number of paired and unpaired
elec-trons are also same in canonical structures

sta-ble than a polar structure In the following
example, the structures are arranged in a
decreasing order of stability

In the last two structures the charges are
apart so they are less stable
2 Greater the number of covalent bonds
greater will be the stability Therefore,

charge in an electro+positive atom and
negative charge on the electro−negative
atom is more stable Therefore,
−O
4 The canonical structure in which each atom has an octet state is more stable Therefore,

HYBRIDIZATION
Pauling and Slater introduced this concept to explain the shape of molecules which could not be explained by the valence bond theory
It is the intermixing or re-distribution of energy among two or more half-filled, fully filled, incompletely filled or empty orbitals of comparable energy, to form same number of hybrid orbitals Hybrids have identical ener-gies and similar shapes
Trang 30Facts About Hybridization
Number of atomic orbitals taking part in
hybridization is equal to number of hybrids
formed
Electrons do not undergo hybridization
A hybrid bond is always a sigma bond
A hybrid bond is always stronger than a
non-hybrid bond
Hybridization occurs at the time of bond
formation
Hybridization ∝ overlapping (for enough
overlapping, orbitals must be at an
approp-priate distance from each other, that is,
nei-ther very close nor very far)
Hybridization increases stability and
decreases reactivity and energy of a molecule
Hybridization occurs in the central atom in
Hybridization does not occur in isolated
atoms but in bonded atoms
Types of Hybridization
1 sp hybridization: Here, one s and one p
orbitals form two sp hybrid orbitals after
intermixing

Some other examples are CO2, and CS2

Rules to Find the Type
of Hybridization
For covalent compounds and ions: 1 Count
the total number of valence electrons and (±)
charge, to find a particular value For example, in the PO4−3 number of valence elctrons is 5 + 4 × 6 + 3 = 32 For NH+
4, this number is 5 + 4 − 1 = 8
2 Now divide the total value of electrons to get the quotient X (number of bond pair electrons)
(a) If total value of electrons is between 2
P = ½ (V + M − C + A) Here, P = total numbers of pairs of elec-
trons around the central atom which gives the present hybrid-ization of the central atom as calculated above
A = Charge on anion
C = Charge on cation
M = Number of monovalent
atoms
Trang 32V = Number of electrons in the
valence shell of the central atom
To find lone pair of electrons
Lone pair = P − N
Here,
P = Total numbers of pairs of electrons
around the central atom which gives hybridization as above
N = Number of atoms surrounding the
central atom or number of bond pairs
Hybridization in complexes:
Coordina-tion number of ligands is used to find the
2O, F, Cl, Br, I CO, CN, NH
3
For example, in [Fe(CN6)]−3 the
coordina-tion number is 6 and ligand is strong, hence the
hybridization is d2sp3
Similary, in [Fe(H2O)6]+3 the tion number is 6 and ligand is weak, hence the hybridization is sp3d2
coordina-Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR)
Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory was introduced by Nyholm and Gillispie to predict the shape of polyatomic molecules and ions
According to this theory, besides tion, the nature of electrons around the cen-tral atom also decide the shape of molecule
There may be two types of electrons around the central atom, that is, bond pair or lone pair of electrons
These electrons undergo electron−electron repulsion and the decreasing order of elec-tronic repulsion follows lp − lp > lp − bp >
bp − bp
Due to this electronic repulsion, the shape
of the molecule becomes distorted and the bond angle changes
Distortion in shape ∝ e− − e− repulsionDistortion in shape or change in bond angle ∝ electronic repulsion

Trang 33For example, BX3, BH3, SO3
BX
S:
OO
Here, S atom has two bond pairs and
one lone pair of electron, so lp − bp type
of repulsion distorts the shape, that is, it
bends and changes the bond angle and the
shape becomes angular Same holds true for
SnCl2 and PbCl2
sp 3 hybridization
1 When the central atom has four bond pairs
of electrons, the shape will be normal with
normal bond angle of 109˚ 28' which The
Shape tetrahedral For example, CH4, CCl4,
SiCl4, NH4+, BX4
HCH
2 When the central atom has 3 bond pairs
and 1 lone pair of electron, there will be
lp − bp type of repulsion, which distorts
the shape and changes the bond angle,
that is, the shape becomes pyramidal and
the bond angles are less than 109˚ 28' For
In ammonia, the bond angle is 107˚
3 When the central atom has 2 lone pair
and 2 bond pair of electron, there will be
lp − lp type of electronic repulsion, hence
the shape will be distorted and it will be
angular or bent For example, H2O, H2S,
OF2, SCl2, SeCl2
AB

4 When the central atom has 3 lone pairs and 1 bond pair of electrons, there will be
lp − lp type of electronic repulsion hence, shape is highly distorted and it becomes linear For example, I − Cl, HCl
sp 3 d hybridization
1 When the central atom has 5 bond pair of electrons, the shape will be normal with nor-mal bond angle, that is, the shape becomes trigonal bipyramidal and bond angle of 90° and 120° As only bp − bp type of electronic repulsion occurs, hence there is no distor-tion in shape and no change in bond angle
For example, PCl5, AsF5 and PF5

1 lone pair of electrons, the shape will be distorted and it will possess a see-saw like structure For example, SeCl4, TeCl4, SF4

equito-rial position to minimize e − e− repulsion
4 When the central atom has 2 bond pair and
3 lone pair of electrons, the shape will be
distorted and the shape will be linear For
example, XeF2, I3−, ICl2−
1 When the central atom has 6 bond pairs of
elec-trons, the shape will be normal with normal
bond angles that is, octahedral (90˚) As only

MOLECULAR ORBITAL THEORY
Molecular orbital theory was given by Hund and Mulliken
It is based on Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals (LCAO) model
Atomic orbitals undergo linear combination
to form same number of molecular orbitals, if they fulfill the following conditions:
1 Atomic orbitals must have comparable energies
2 Atomic orbitals must overlap linearly for enough and effective overlapping
3 Atomic orbitals must have same try along with the major molecular axis,

The shape of the molecular orbitals formed
depend upon shape of atomic orbital from
which they are formed
Like atomic orbitals, molecular orbitals also
follow

orbital can have a maximum of two electrons
with opposite spin

orbital, before pairing, each molecular orbital
must have one electron
