What is molecular orbital theory and how to explain it
In molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals. Here, we will discuss the two types of MO formed due to LCAO method. What is molecular orbital theory Rules for filling electronic configuration of MO The rule states that electrons are filled in order of increasing energy. 2. Pauli’s Exclusion Principle A MO […]
What is coordinate bond & how to apply valence bond approach
Coordinate bond is the bond formation when one atom donates the lone pair but shared between the 2 atoms. Here we will discuss the many molecules forming coordinate bond. What is coordinate bond It is the bond formation when one atom donates the lone pair but shared between the 2 atoms. Formation of Coordination bond […]
What is Hybridisation and how to find shape of molecule (2)
Hybridisation determines the shape of molecule. The types of hybridisation depends upon the number and types of orbitals mixed together. Here, we will discuss the shape of molecules having bond pairs and lone pairs. What is Hybridisation Covalent bond is formed by the overlap of half filled orbitals. (hybridised or unhybridised) Shape of NH3 molecule […]
What is Hybridisation and how to find shape of molecule
Hybridisation determines the shape of molecule. The types of hybridisation depends upon the number and types of orbitals mixed together. What is Hybridisation Covalent bond is formed by the overlap of half filled orbitals. (hybridised or unhybridised) Shape of BeF2 molecule on the basis of hybridisation Shape of BF3 molecule on the basis of hybridised […]
What is VSEPR theory and how to find shape of molecule (2)
The shape of molecule is the particular arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom. VSEPR stands for valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. Shape of molecule containing bond pairs and lone pairs The regular shape of the molecule got distorted due to the presence of lone pair. The order of repulsion varies in this […]
What is VSEPR theory and how to find shape of molecule
The shape of molecule is the particular arrangement of electron pairs around the central atom. VSEPR stands for valence shell electron pair repulsion theory. Shape of molecule containing bond pairs only In BeF2 molecule, Be is surrounded by 2 bond pairs with 2 F atoms. Bond pairs repel each other at the maximum distance. This […]
