Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bond can be defined as the attractive force which binds hydrogen atom of one molecule with the electronegative atom (F, O or...
Bonding in Some Homonuclear (Diatomic) Molecules
Hydrogen molecule (H2)
It is formed by the combination of two hydrogen atoms. Each hydrogen atom has one electron in 1s orbital, so, the electronic...
Molecular Orbital Theory
Molecular Orbital Theory
According to this theory, the atomic orbitals combine to form the molecular orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal is...
Hybridisation
Hybridisation
Hybridisation is the process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies so as to redistribute their energies resulting in the formation of...
Orbit Overlap Concept
Orbit Overlap Concept
According to orbital overlap concept, the formation of a covalent bond between two atoms results by pairing of electrons present in the...

Covalent Bond
Covalent Bond
A chemical bond formed between two atoms by mutual sharing of the electron between them so as to complete their octels or duplets...
Ionic or Electrovalent Bond
Ionic or Electrovalent Bond
A chemical bond formed by complete transference of elements from one atom (metal) to another (non-metal) and hence, each atom acquires...
