Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

In this topic, we will understand the formation of chemical bonds in terms of electrons. It introduces us to the different terms related to the chemical bonds and facts given by Kossel and Lewis.

In this topic, we will learn the concept of ionic or electrovalent bonds. It explains electron gain enthalpy with the help of a diagram. It describes the concept of lattice enthalpy.

In this topic, we will understand the different bond parameters. It explains bond length, bond angle, bond enthalpy, bond order, and resonating structure.

In this topic, we will learn the theory that provides a simple procedure to predict the shapes of the covalent molecule. It also explains the main postulates of the VSEPR theory.

This topic describes valence bond theory related to atomic orbitals and the electronic configuration of an element. It also contains different approaches and concepts related to the valence bond theory.

In this topic, we will understand the phenomenon in which hybrid orbitals are used in bond formation. It also explains salient features, types and some special hybridization of elements containing 'd' orbital.

This topic highlights the salient features of the molecular orbital theory. It explains formation of molecular orbital linear combination of atomic orbitals. It also discusses the types of molecular orbitals and energy level diagrams of molecular orbitals.

In this topic, we will discuss bonding in some special cases of homonuclear diatomic molecules. Molecular orbital occupancy and molecular properties of B₂ through neon is also shown here.

This topic explains hydrogen bonding. It discusses the cause of the formation of hydrogen bonding and its different types in the molecules and compounds.
