5 Questions
Explain the two ways in which chemical bonds can be formed between two atoms.
The two ways of formation of chemical bonds are by the loss and gain of electrons, and by sharing a pair of electrons between the two atoms.
Which electrons are involved in the formation of a chemical bond?
The electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom are involved in the formation of a chemical bond.
Who proposed the Electronic theory of valence and in what year?
W. Kossel and G. N. Lewis independently proposed the Electronic theory of valence in 1916.
According to Lewis, what represents a stable electronic arrangement in an atom?
An octet of electrons represents a stable electronic arrangement in an atom.
How did Kossel and Lewis explain the formation of chemical bonds?
They explained the formation of chemical bonds in terms of valence, based on the inertness of noble gases, and proposed the Electronic theory of valence.
Explore the concept of chemical bond formation between atoms through loss and gain of electrons or sharing a pair of electrons. Understand the forces that hold atoms together in chemical compounds.
