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.
1) Laughing gas, an anesthetic and a propellant in whipped-cream dispensing cans, has the chemical formula N2O. Use Lewis formulas and formula charge considerations to predict which structure, NNO or NON is more likey
2) A solution of sugar in water is a poor conductor of electricty, whereas a solution of table salt in water is a good conductor of electricty. What does this tell you about the bonding in the two substances?
1) The two structure of N2O can be NNO and NON
In upper one structure, more electronegative O atom bears negative charge and less electronegative N atom bears a positive charge. Hence, the charge separation is as according to electronegativity.
