Study Notes
Covalent Bonding
- Covalent bonds form when atomic orbitals overlap, resulting in a stable equilibrium distance known as bond length.
- The energy released during this process is called bond energy.
- Different types of covalent bonds include sigma (σ) and pi (π) bonds based on the orientation of orbital overlap
Sigma (σ) Bond
- Formed by end-to-end overlap of atomic orbitals along the internuclear axis.
- Examples of sigma bond formation include:
- s-s overlap (e.g., H2 molecule)
- s-p overlap
- p-p overlap
Pi (π) Bond
- Formed by sidewise overlap of atomic orbitals, specifically p orbitals, perpendicular to the internuclear axis.
- The extent of overlap in a sigma bond is greater than in a pi bond, making sigma bonds stronger.
Formation of H2 Molecule
- Two hydrogen atoms, each with an unpaired electron in the 1s orbital, form a sigma bond due to s-s overlap, resulting in a stable H2 molecule.
Coordinate Covalent Bond
- Formed by sharing of a pair of electrons, where both electrons come from the same atom.
- The atom that donates the electron pair is the donor, while the atom that accepts it is the acceptor.
- Examples of coordinate covalent bonds include:
- Addition compound of NH3 and BCl3
- Ammonium ion (NH4+)
- BF4-, H3O+, SO2, SO3, CH3NO2, SO42-, O3, CO
Metallic Bonding
- Occurs between metal atoms in a metallic crystal.
- Electrons are not fully transferred as in ionic bonds, nor are they shared equally as in covalent bonds.
- Metal atoms have many properties, such as high melting points, good electrical and thermal conductivity, ductility, malleability, and high tensile strength.
- Explained by the Electron Sea Model, where positive metal ions (kernels) reside in a sea of mobile valence electrons.
- This model explains the properties of metals by allowing electrons to move freely, contributing to conductivity and other characteristics.
Water (H2O)
- The central oxygen atom has two bonding electron pairs and two lone pairs of electrons.
- According to VSEPR theory, these electron pairs will occupy positions apart as far as possible, forming a tetrahedral arrangement around the oxygen atom.
- The shape of a molecule is determined by the arrangement of atoms, not the electron pairs.
- The bond angle in water is 105°, which is less than the ideal tetrahedral angle of 109.5° due to the strong repulsion between the two lone pairs of electrons on oxygen.
Valence Bond Theory (VBT)
- Explains the formation of covalent bonds involving the overlapping of atomic orbitals.
- Key concepts include:
- Overlapping orbitals must have unpaired electrons with opposite spins.
- Combining atoms should have proper alignment of overlapping orbitals.
- A new localized bond orbital is formed due to overlap.
- Covalent bond formation is due to pairing of antispin electrons and electrostatic attractions between nuclei and electrons in the new bond orbital.
- Greater overlap leads to stronger bonds and shorter bond lengths.
- Attractive and repulsive forces between nuclei and electrons play a role in the overall process of orbital overlap.
Molecular Orbitals (MO) Theory
- Involves combining atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.
- Types of molecular orbitals:
- Bonding molecular orbitals (BMOs) - formed by additive overlap of atomic orbitals.
- Antibonding molecular orbitals (ABMOs) - formed by subtractive overlap of atomic orbitals.
- Non-bonding molecular orbitals (NBMOs) - inner orbitals not involved in bond formation.
- Molecules with unpaired electrons in MO's are paramagnetic, while those with all paired electrons are diamagnetic.
- Key differences between BMOs and ABMOs:
- BMOs have a higher electron density between the nuclei, increasing bond strength and stability.
- ABMOs have a lower electron density between the nuclei, decreasing bond strength and stability.
- ABMOs are higher in energy than BMOs.
Molecular Orbital Diagram
- Combining two s orbitals creates a sigma (σ) bonding and a sigma-star (σ*) antibonding molecular orbital.
- Combining an s orbital with a pz orbital also forms σ and σ* molecular orbitals due to end-to-end overlap.
- Combining two pz orbitals leads to σ and σ* molecular orbitals due to end-to-end overlap.
- Combining two px orbitals (or two py orbitals) creates a pi (π) bonding molecular orbital and a pi-star (π*) antibonding molecular orbital due to side-by-side overlap.
