CBSE Class 11 Chemistry Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure. Learning the important concepts is very important for every student to get better marks in examinations. The concepts should be clear which will help in faster learning. The attached concepts made as per NCERT and CBSE pattern will help the student to understand the chapter and score better marks in the examinations.  

 CHAPTER-4

CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE

OCTET RULE- During a chemical reaction the atoms tend to adjust their electronic arrangement in such a way that they achieve 8 e- in their outermost electron. This is called octet rule.

CHEMICAL BOND- the chemical force which keeps the atoms in any molecule together is called a chemical bond.

IONIC BOND- The columbic force of attraction which holds the appositively charged ions together is called an ionic bond. An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of one or more electrons from the atom of a metal to an atom of non- metal.

LATTICE ENTHALPY- The molar enthalpy change accompanying the complete separation of the constituent particles that compose of the solids (such as ions for ionic solid, molecules for molecular solids) under standard conditions is called lattice enthalpy (ΔlHo). The lattice enthalpy is a positive quantity.

ELECTRO VALENCY: The number of electrons lost or gain by an atom of an element is called as electrovalency.

The element which give up electrons to form positive ions are said to have positive valency, while the elements which accept electrons to form negative ions are said to have negative valency.

FORMATION OF AN IONIC BOND: It is favoured by, (i) the low ionisation enthalpy of a metallic element which forms the cations, (ii) High electron gain enthalpy of non- metallic element which forms the anions, (iii) Large lattice enthalpy i.e; the smaller size and the higher charge of the atoms.

COVALENCY:The number of electrons which an atom contributes towards mutual sharing during the formation of a chemical bond called its covalency in that compound.

SINGLE COVALENT BOND: A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of one pair of electrons is called a single covalent bond, or simply a single bond. A single covalent bond is represented by a small line (−) between the two atoms.

DOUBLE COVALENT BOND: A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of two pair of electrons is called a double covalent bond, or simply a double bond. A double covalent bond is represented by two small horizontal lines (=) between the two atoms. E.g. O=O, O=C=O etc.

TRIPLE COVALENT BOND: A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of three pair of electrons is called a triple covalent bond, or simply a triple bond. A triple covalent bond is represented by three small horizontal lines (≡) between the two atoms. E.g. N≡N, H-C≡C-H etc.

FORMATION OF A COVALENT BOND: Formation of a covalent bond is favoured by

(i) High ionisation enthalpy of the combining elements.

(ii) Nearly equal electron gain enthalpy and equal electro-negativities of combining elements.

(iii) High nuclear charge and small atomic size of the combining elements.

POLAR COVALENT BOND: The bond between two unlike atoms which differ in their affinities for electrons is said to be polar covalent bond. E.g. H-Cl
COORDINATE BOND: The bond formed when one sided sharing of electrons take place is called a coordinate bond. Such a bond is also known as dative bond. It is represented by an arrow (→) pointing towards the acceptor atom. E.g. H₃N→BF₃
