Chemical bond is formed either due to sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms. A chemical bond is formed by an atom inorder to get stability by lowering its potential energy. Atoms (noble gases) with octet configuration in outer shell are stable. Hence every atom tries to get octet configuration either by losing or gaining or sharing electrons.

1) Ionic bond :The electrostatic force of attraction between two oppositely charged ions is called ionic bond. * An ionic bond is formed due to transfer of electrons from one atom to another. * The atom which loses electrons will form a cation and the atom which gains electrons will form an anion. These oppositely charged ions come closer to each other due to electrostatic force of attraction and thus form an ionic bond. * An ionic bond is formed between two atoms when their electronegativity difference is greater than 1.7. * Usually an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal. E.g., NaCl, LiF, MgCl2 etc., 2) Covalent Bond : The attraction between two atoms formed due to the sharing of electron pair(s) is called covalent bond. * It is formed when electronegativity difference between two atoms is less than 1.7. * Usually two nonmetals form a covalent bond. E.g., H2, F2, HCl, H2O etc., 3) Metallic bond: It is the attraction between metal atoms in a metallic crystal. It is formed between electropositive metal atoms. KOSSELL AND LEWI'S ELECTRONIC THEORY OF CHEMICAL BONDING * The atoms of inert gases are stable due to octet configuration (ns2np6) in the outer shell. Hence atoms must posses eight electrons in their outer shell to get stability. This is referred to as octet rule. * Helium is also highly stable due to 1s2 configuration. * Hence every atom tries to get nearest inert gas configuration either by losing or gaining or sharing electrons. * Only the electrons in outer shell participate in bond formation. These electrons are called valence electrons. The electrons in the inner shell are called core electrons and do not participate in bond formation. * An ionic bond is formed due to transfer of electrons between atoms whereas a covalent bond is formed due to sharing of valence electrons. Electrovalency: The number of valence electrons either lost or gained by an atom during the ionic

FACTORS FAVOURING THE FORMATION OF IONIC BOND Ionic bond is electrostatic force of attraction between cation and anion. Hence factors favouring their formation also favour the formation of ionic bond. Factors favouring the formation of cation : Big atomic size : In bigger atoms, the nuclear attraction over the outer electrons is less. Hence they lose the electrons easily to form cations. E.g. The ease of formation of cation increases from Li+ to Cs+ in IA group with increase in size. 2) Low ionization energy : The removal of electrons is easy from atoms with low ionization energy values. Hence these atoms form cation easily. E.g. IA and IIA group elements readily form cations due to low ionization energies. 3) Low charge on cation : As the successive ionization energies are increased, the formation of cations becomes difficult with increase in charge on them. E.g. Among Na+, Mg+2 and Al+3 , the order of ease of formation is as follows Na+ > Mg+2 > Al+3 + i.e., Na is formed more readily than Mg+2 and Al+3 4) Octet electronic configuration : The cations with 8 electrons in the outer shell (octet configuration) are highly stable and hence formed readily. Whereas cations with 18 electrons in outer shell (Pseudo inert gas configuration) are comparatively less stable and hence are not formed easily.

Factors favouring the formation of anion 1) Small atomic size : Atoms with small atomic size have stronger attraction towards electron and hence can form anions readily. 2) High electron affinity and electronegativity : The atoms, with high electron affinity and electronegativity, gain electrons easily and hence form anions readily. E.g., Halogens can form anions readily due to small size, high electron affinity and high electronegativity. 3) Low charge on anion : The formation of highly charged anions is difficult as the addition of successive electrons to the atoms becomes difficult due to repulsion from electrons in the atom. Hence anion with low charge is formed readily. E.g., Among C4-, N3-, O2- and F- ions, the anion with low charge (F-) is formed readily whereas the formation of anion with higher charge (C4-) is difficult. i.e., The order of ease of formation is C4- < N3- < O2- < F-

FAJAN'S RULES These rules are used to predict the nature of the bond formed by atoms based on their polarizing power and polarizability. 1) Greater the size of cation, greater is the ionic nature. E.g. In IA group elements ionic nature increases with increase in the size of cation from Li+ - Cs+. i.e, Increasing order of ionic nature : Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Rb+ < Cs+ less more ionic ionic 2) Greater the size of anion, greater is the covalent nature. E.g. Among the halides of the calcium the covalent nature increases from CaF2 to CaI2 with increase in the size of anion. Increasing order of covalent nature : CaF2 < CaCl2 < CaI2 3) Greater the charge on cation, greater is the covalent nature. E.g. In case of Na+, Mg+2 and Al+3 , the covalent nature of cations increases with increase in the charge as follows. Na+ < Mg+2 < Al+3 i.e., The compounds of Al3+ are more covalent. 4) The cations with octet configuration in the valence shell exhibit more ionic nature whereas cation with pseudo inert gas configuration exhibit more covalent nature in their compounds. E.g. CaCl2 is more ionic [ Ca2+ has octet configuration] Whereas CuCl, AgCl, ZnCl2 are more covalent. [ Cu+, Ag+, Zn2+ have Psuedo inert gas configuration].

The crystal lattice energy of an ionic crystal can be calculated by using Born-Haber cycle. For example the lattice energy of NaCl can be calculated as follows: BORN-HABER CYCLE : The principle involved in Born-Haber cylcle is Hess's law of constant heat summation which can be stated as follows. Hess's Law : The total energy change in a reaction remains same whether the reaction takes place in one step or in several steps. Calculation of lattice energy of NaCl NaCl can be obtained from sodium metal and chlorine gas either in one step or in several steps as shown below.

Properties of ionic compounds 1) Ionic compounds contain oppositely charged ions which are strongly attracted to each other. Hence these are hard substances with high melting and boiling points. 2) Ionic bond is direction less and the electrostatic forces of attraction are present in all directions around an ion. Hence there is no isolated discrete molecule in the ionic crystal. Entire crystal is considered as the giant molecule. 3) In the solid state, ions cannot move freely and hence they do not conduct electricity . But in fused state or in aqueous solutions, they exhibit electrical conductivity as the ions are free to move. 4) Ionic compounds are polar in nature and hence they are soluble in polar solvents like water. These compounds do not dissolve in non polar solvent like benzene, carbon tetrachloride etc.,

5) The reactions between ionic compounds occur very fast due to presence of separate ions. e.g. A white precipitate of AgCl is formed instantly when aqueous solution of NaCl and AgNO3 are mixed.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) NaNO3(aq) + AgCl 6) Ionic compounds do not exhibit isomerism due to non directional nature of ionic bond. Formula weight: Ionic compounds contain only ions and there are no molecules in it. Hence their molar mass is expressed as formula weight instead of molecular weight.

COVALENT BOND FORMATION & LEWI'S DOT STRUCTURES A covalent bond is formed by sharing of pair of electrons between two atoms. It is formed between two atoms when their electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 . Usually a covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals. The formation of covalent bonds can be explained based on Lewi's dot structures. Atoms contribute their valence electrons for the bond formation and get octet or nearest inert gas configuration. Covalency : The number of electrons contributed by the atom of an element in the formation of covalent compound is known as covalency of that element.

VALENCE SHELL ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION (VSEPR) THEORY * Following are the important postulates of VSEPR's theory proposed by Nyholm, Gillespie. 1) The shape of a molecule can be determined from the arrangement and repulsions between the electron pairs present in the valence shell of central atom of that molecule. 2) There are two types of valence shell electron pairs viz., i) Bond pair and ii) Lone pair 3) The electron pairs in the valence shell the repel each other and determines the shape of the molecule. The magnitude of the repulsion depends upon the type of electron pair. 4) The bond pair is attracted by nuclei the occupies less space and hence it causes less repulsion. Whereas, the lone pairs are only attracted by one nucleus and hence occupy more space. As a result, the repulsion caused by them is greater. The order of repulsion between different types of electron pairs is as follows : Lone pair - Lone pair > Lone Pair -Bond pair > Bond pair- Bond pair 5) When the valence shell of central atom contains only bond pairs, the molecule gets symmetrical structure, whereas the symmetry is distorted when there are lone pairs along with bond pairs. 6) The bond angle decreases due to the presence of lone pairs. 7) The repulsion increases with increase in the number of bonds between two atoms. E.g. Triple bond causes more repulsion then double bond which in turn causes more repulsion than single bonds. 8) The repulsion between electron pairs increases with increase electronegativity of central atom and hence the bond angle increases. 9) Shapes of molecules can be predicted from the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of central atom as follows:

VALENCE BOND THEORY (VBT) This theory was proposed by Heitler and London to explain the formation of covalent bond. The main postulates are as follows: * A covalent bond is formed by the overlapping of two half filled atomic orbitals containing electrons with opposite spins. * Thus formed electron pair is shared between two atoms. * The electron density along the internuclear axis between two bonded atoms increases due to overlapping. This confers stability to the molecule. * Greater the extent of overlapping, stronger is the bond formed. The direction of the covalent bond is decided by the direction of overlapping. * There are two types of covalent bonds based on the pattern of overlapping as follows: (i) bond:- The covalent bond formed due to overlapping of atomic orbital along the inter nucleus axis is called bond. It is a stronger bond with cylindrical symmetry. (ii) π bond :- The covalent bond formed by sidewise overlapping of atomic orbitals is called π -

Note: The 's' orbitals can only form bonds, whereas the p, d & f orbitals can form both and π bonds. Examples 1) H2 molecule * Electronic configuration of hydrogen is 1s1. * In the formation of hydrogen molecule, two half filled 1s orbitals of hydrogen atoms overlap along the internuclear axis and thus form a s-s bond.

VA by RD AD I.C HA OM N
Inorder to explain the structures and bond angles of molecules, Linus Pauling modified the valence bond theory by proposing hybridization concept. HYBRIDIZATION The intermixing of atomic orbitals of almost equal energies of an atom to give an equal number of identical and degenerate hybrid orbitals is called hybridization.

Pr ep ar ed
Characteristics of hybridization : 1) Pure atomic orbitals of same atom should participate in the hybridization. 2) The energies of atomic orbitals participating in hybridization must be nearly same. 3) The number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals participating in the hybridization. 4) The hybrid orbitals formed are identical in shape and degenerate. 5) These hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged around the nucleus so as to minimize the repulsion between them and thus get maximum stability. 6) The filling of electrons into hybrid orbitals follows Pauli's exclusion principle and Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity. 7) A hybrid orbital may be empty or half-filled or full filled. 8) Usually hybrid orbitals form sigma bonds only. TYPES OF HYBRIDIZATION
1) 'sp' hybridization * Intermixing of one 's' and one 'p' orbitals of almost equal energy to give two identical and degenerate hybrid orbitals is called 'sp' hybridization. * These sp-hybrid orbitals are arranged linearly at 180o of angle. * They possess 50% 's' and 50% 'p' character.

Properties of covalent compounds 1) In covalent compounds, weak vander Wall's forces of attraction are present between the molecules. Hence they have low melting and boiling points. 2) Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity because of absence of either free electrons or ions in them. 3) Covalent compounds are mostly non polar and hence are more soluble in non polar solvents like benzene, carbon tetrachloride etc. But some covalent compounds are polar in nature like glucose, fructose etc., and hence are soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohol. 4) The reactions between covalent compounds involve bond breaking and bond making. As the bond breaking requires energy, the reactions between them occur slowly. 5) Covalent bond has specific direction. Hence these compounds exhibit isomerism. Isomerism is the phenomenon exhibited by different compounds possessing the same molecular formula. e.g. Following are the isomers with the molecular formula C2H6O. C2H5OH - Ethyl alcohol

* The important postulates of this theory are given below. 1) According to this theory, the orbitals in a molecule are different from those of atoms. The electrons of all the bonded atoms in a molecule revolve under the influence of all the nuclei in molecular orbitals. 2) The atomic orbitals (AO's) of the bonded atoms combine linearly to form molecular orbitals (MO's) which are occupied by the electrons of bonded atoms. Molecular orbital is a region around the nuclei of all the bonded atoms in a molecule where the probability of finding electrons is maximum. 3) Only those atomic orbitals with almost same energy and symmetry with respect to internuclear axis can combine to form molecular orbitals. 4) The number of molecular orbitals formed is numerically equal to the number of atomic orbitals combining. 5) The shapes of molecular orbitals depend on the shapes of atomic orbitals. 6) Each molecular orbital can accommodate a maximum of only two electrons. 7) Each molecular orbital is associated with certain amount of energy and are arranged in their increasing order of energy. 8) The degenerate molecular orbitals posses same energy and are filled with electrons according to Hund's rule. But they may be arranged in different directions. 9) The MO's which have lower energy than AO's are called bonding orbitals, whereas those with higher energy are known as anti bonding orbitals. The number of bonding orbitals formed is equal to the number of anti bonding orbitals. The orbitals which are not involved in the combination are called non bonding orbitals. The order of energies of different types of MO's is: Bonding orbitals < Non bonding orbitals < Anti bonding orbitals

10) The bond order of the molecule can be calculated by using the following formula. Bond order (B.O) =
number of bonding electrons - number of antibonding electrons 2

Bonding and Anti bonding orbitals Bonding molecular orbitals are formed when the orbitals with same signs of wavefunction are combined, whereas anti bonding molecular orbitals are formed when the orbitals with different signs of wavefunctions are combined. Depending on the pattern of overlapping, number of nodes and symmetry, the molecular orbitals are again divided into two types viz., & . σ -Molecular orbitals -Molecular orbitals are formed due to linear combination of atomic orbitals along the internuclear axis of bonded atoms. They have cylindrical symmetry about the axis. Bonding orbital is designated as , whereas antibonding orbital is designated as * .

ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATIONS OF MOLECULES 1) The MO's are arranged in their increasing order of energy and filled with electrons. 2) The lowest available MO is filled first (Aufbau principle). 3) Each MO can accomodate a pair of electrons with opposite spins (Pauli's exclusion principle). 4) Pairing occurs only after all the degenerate MO's are filled with one electron each (Hund's rule). 5)The order of energy of homonuclear diatomic MO's upto nitrogen molecule is: 2 py *2 p y 1s *1s 2 s *2 s 2 px *2 px 2p *2 p z z But for elements heavier than nitrogen i.e., from oxygen onwards, the order will be as follows:

HYDROGEN BONDING The electrostatic force of attraction between partially positively charged hydrogen in a polar molecule and an electronegative atom is called hydrogen bond. It is represented by dotted line. Characteristics of Hydrogen bond 1) The hydrogen must be bonded to highly electronegative atom and should posses sufficient positive charge to make hydrogen bond. 2) The electronegative atom should be smaller in size and possess high charge density to attract hydrogen.
