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 […]

What is ionic bonding in NaCl and how to explain it

Ionic bonding is the bond formation when the electron transfers completely from one atom to another. Here we will discuss the some relevant examples of ionic bonding. What is electrovalent bond or ionic bond There is a complete transference of electrons from one atom to another to complete the octet or duplet ( in case […]

What is spectra and how to explain the H2 spectrum

Spectra is the pattern of emergent radiation recorded on the film. Here, we will discuss about the hydrogen spectrum. Emission and absorption spectra Types of Spectra It is broadly classified in to 2 types : Emission spectrum First, the radiation emitted from any source passes through the prism. Then received on photographic plate, the spectrum […]

What is de Broglie equation and how to explain it

de Broglie gave the concept of dual nature of matter. Matter has particle nature as well as wave nature. Here, we will study the Broglie equation and its relationship. de Broglie concept of dual nature Significance of de Broglie equation It is applicable to all material particles. But it is significant for microscopic particles only. […]
