What is Hybridisation and how to apply VBT
Hybridisation is the process of intermixing atomic orbitals of almost similar energies to form new orbitals of equal energy and identical shape. Here, we will discuss about the valence bond theory to understand the concept of hybridisation. What is Hybridisation It is the process of intermixing atomic orbitals of almost similar energies to form new […]
What is dipole moment and how to apply it
Dipole moment is the product of magnitude of charge and the distance between them. Here, we will study about the applications of dipole moment. What is dipole moment Comparison of dipole moments of NH3 and NF3 Applications of D.M. Check out the post on covalent bonding here For more updates join me on You Tube […]
What is covalent bond and what are its types
The bond formed by the sharing of electrons is called covalent bond. Here, we will discuss its types. Types of Covalent bond Covalent bonds are of 2 types depending upon covalent bonding. Sigma bond The overlapping of atomic orbitals along the internuclear axis results in the formation of sigma bond. This is head on or […]
What is Valence bond theory and how to apply VBT
We will study valence bond theory in terms of energy consideration and orbital overlap concept. we will learn here how to apply VBT What is Valence bond theory VBT in terms of energy consideration Formation of H2 molecule Non formation of He molecule VBT in terms of orbital overlap Covalent bond is the bond formation […]
What is VSEPR theory and how to explain structures
VSEPR theory or valence shell electron pair repulsion theory explain the shapes of molecules. Here, we will study about the geometry of the molecules with different examples. What is VSEPR theory The basic assumptions of theory are: What are the shapes of molecules (VSEPR theory) A represents the central atom, B as bond pair, L […]
What is formal charge and how to calculate F.C.
Formal charge is the difference between the number of valence electrons of the atom in free state and the lewis structure. Here we will discuss how to calculate the F.C. on the atom in a molecule. What is Formal Charge Formal charge is the difference between the number of valence electrons of the atom in […]
