1. Introduction to Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains how and why atoms combine to form molecules and compounds. Atoms bond to achieve stability, usually by attaining octet configuration (noble gas structure).
🔑 Key Points:
Atoms interact through electrons
Bond formation lowers potential energy
Stability is the main driving force
🔹 2. Kossel–Lewis Approach to Chemical Bonding
This theory explains bonding using electron transfer or sharing.
Types of Bonds:
Ionic Bond – Transfer of electrons
Covalent Bond – Sharing of electrons
📌 Example:
NaCl → Ionic
H₂O → Covalent
🔹 3. Ionic Bonding
Formed between metal and non-metal atoms due to large electronegativity difference.
Characteristics:
High melting & boiling point
Soluble in water
Conduct electricity in molten or aqueous state
Factors Affecting Ionic Bond Formation:
Low ionization energy
High electron affinity
High lattice energy
🔹 4. Covalent Bonding
Formed by mutual sharing of electrons.
Types of Covalent Bonds:
Single bond (σ)
Double bond (σ + π)
Triple bond (σ + 2π)
Bond Parameters:
Bond Length
Bond Angle
Bond Energy
🔹 5. Lewis Structures
Lewis structures show valence electrons as dots.
Rules:
Total valence electrons are counted
Octet rule is applied (except H, B, expanded octet elements)
📌 Exceptions:
Incomplete octet → BF₃
Expanded octet → SF₆
Odd-electron molecules → NO
🔹 6. Formal Charge
Formal charge helps determine the most stable structure.
Formula:
Formal Charge = Valence e⁻ − Non-bonding e⁻ − ½ (Bonding e⁻)
🔹 7. VSEPR Theory
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory predicts molecular shape.
Basic Principle:
Electron pairs repel each other and arrange to minimize repulsion.
Common Shapes:
Electron Pairs Shape
2 Linear
3 Trigonal planar
4 Tetrahedral
5 Trigonal bipyramidal
6 Octahedral
📌 Lone pairs distort geometry.
🔹 8. Valence Bond Theory (VBT)
Explains bonding through orbital overlap.
Types of Overlap:
σ bond – head-on overlap
π bond – side-wise overlap
Hybridization:
Hybridization Shape Example
sp Linear BeCl₂
sp² Trigonal planar BF₃
sp³ Tetrahedral CH₄
sp³d Trigonal bipyramidal PCl₅
sp³d² Octahedral SF₆
🔹 9. Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT)
Atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals.
Types:
Bonding MO
Antibonding MO
Bond Order:
Bond Order = (Bonding e⁻ − Antibonding e⁻) / 2
📌 Higher bond order → stronger bond
🔹 10. Hydrogen Bonding
A weak bond between H attached to highly electronegative atoms (F, O, N).
Types:
Intermolecular (between molecules)
Intramolecular (within a molecule)
📌 Responsible for:
High boiling point of water
Structure of DNA
Protein stability
🔹 11. Polarity of Molecules
Depends on:
Electronegativity difference
Molecular geometry
📌 Example:
CO₂ → Non-polar
H₂O → Polar
🔹 12. Importance of Chemical Bonding
Explains shape & properties of molecules
Essential for biochemistry & materials science
Basis of reaction mechanisms
