Study Notes
Types of Chemical Bonds
- Ionic bonds occur due to electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions, resulting in stable compounds.
- Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, creating molecular structures.
Stabilization in Chemical Bonds
- Nuclei in chemical bonding are stabilized by electrostatic attractions and shared electrons that create a lower energy state.
Bonding Theory
- Valence bond theory helps predict the strength, directionality, and polarity of chemical bonds by considering orbital overlaps and electron sharing.
- Molecular orbital theory expands on bonding concepts and describes how atomic orbitals combine to form new molecular orbitals.
Types of Bonds by Strength
- Hydrogen bonds are regarded as 'weak bonds' or 'secondary bonds,' playing crucial roles in biological and chemical interactions but lacking the strength of covalent or ionic bonds.
