Concept explainers

Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be ne…

Polarity Of Water

In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in t…

Valence Bond Theory Vbt

Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the forma…

Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 5CTQ

In H — F , neither H nor F holds a full formal charge of + 1 or − 1 . Organic chemists represent apartial charge using the Greek letter delta ( δ ) . On the electron density map of the molecule H — F above, add a δ + to one atom and a δ − to the other to indicate which way the bond is polarized.
