Types of Chemical Bonds
The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds between its constituents. Stronger the chemical bond, more will be the stability in the chemical compounds. Hence, it can be said that bonding defines the stability of chemical compounds.
Polarizability In Organic Chemistry
Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.
Coordinate Covalent Bonds
A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate covalent bond or dative bond is important to know about the special type of bonding that leads to different properties. Since covalent compounds are non-polar whereas coordinate bonds results always in polar compounds due to charge separation.
"more electrons in bonding orbtials than anti-bonding” describes a bond according to what theory?
Elements are composed of same type of atoms whereas compounds are formed by the combination of different elements. Here atoms of elements are bonded through chemical bonds and they form either ionic or covalent compounds.
An ionic bond can be defined as the electrostatic force of attraction between cation and anions. Here cation is a positively charged ion which is formed due to loss of electron whereas an anion is formed by the gain of electrons.
Covalent bond is formed by equal sharing of electrons between bonded atoms and the compounds with covalent bond are called as covalent compound.
The Lewis structure does not give any idea about molecular geometry but it purposed the distribution of electrons between bonding atoms. The molecular geometry can be further determine with the help of hybridization and valence bond theory. Lewis dot structure gives the idea about hybridization.
Hybridization and VSEPR theory explain the molecular geometry and bond angle in a molecule. It states that if there is a lone pair on the central atom, the repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs will change the geometry of molecule.
