Existence of a strong force of binding between two or many atoms is referred to as a chemical bond
and it results in the formation of a stable compound with properties of its own. Molecules having two
identical atoms like H2, O2, Cl2, N2 are called as homo-nuclear diatomic molecules. Molecules
containing two different atoms like CO, HCl, NO, HBr etc., are called as hetero-nuclear diatomic
molecules.
Chemical bonds are basically classified into three types consisting of
i) ionic or electrovalent bond
ii) covalent bond and co-ordinate–covalent bond .
According to the electronic theory of valency, a chemical bond is said to be formed when atoms
interact by losing, gaining or sharing of valence electrons and in doing so, a stable noble gas
electronic configuration is achieved by atoms.

In some compounds like PF5, SF6, H2SO4 apart from s and p orbitals, d orbitals are also available for
bonding. This way of bonding will lead to the presence of more than eight valence electrons around
the central atom.

Solution:
VSEPR Theory is based upon the fact that in a polyatomic molecule, the direction of bonds around
the central atom depends upon the total number of electron pairs (lone pairs as well as bond pairs)
in its valence shell. These electron pairs place themselves as far apart as possible in space so as to
have minimum repulsive interactions between them. The presence of lone pairs in addition to bond
pairs in the molecule causes distortion in the geometry of the molecule.

8. Although geometries of NH3 and H2O molecules are distorted tetrahedral, bond angle
in water is less than that of ammonia. Discuss.
ti
Solution:
on
.in
If an atom is surrounded by four bonded pairs of electrons, it must assume a tetrahedral shape due
to electron repulsion. But in the case of ammonia, N is surrounded by one lone pair and three
bonded pairs of electrons. The lp-bp repulsion makes the molecule to assume a pyramidal shape
whose HNH angle gets reduced from 109o 28’ to 107o. In the case of water molecule the molecule
contains 2 lps and 2 bps of electrons. The lp-bp and lp-bp repulsion together exists and makes the
molecule to assume a bent shape and the HOH angle is reduced from 109o28’ to 104.5o . Since the
lp-lp repulsions are much greater than the lp-bp repulsion the HOH bond angle in water is smaller
than HNH bond angle in NH3.

Bond order may be defined as the half difference between number of electrons in bonding molecular
orbitals and the number of electrons in anti-bonding molecular orbitals.
Bond Order =
[Nb – Na]
If the value of bond order is positive, it indicates a stable molecule and if the value of bond order is
negative or zero, it means that the molecules unstable and is not formed.
Bond order cannot be used for quantitative comparison of the strengths of chemical bonds. It can
give us only approximate idea about the strength of the bond. Greater the bond order, greater is the
strength of the bond.

Although both CO2 and H2O are both triatomic molecules, the shape of CO2 is linear but H2O is bent.
The shape of the molecules can be predicted by dipole moments. Experiments should that the dipole
moment of CO2 is zero. This is possible only if bond dipoles of two c = 0 bonds cancel each other. In
other words, the two bond dipoles must be oriented in opposite directions. This is possible if the
molecule is linear. Similarly H2O has a dipole moment of 1.83D. Thus its molecule cannot be linear
because the bond dipoles do not cancel each other. Thus, the H2O molecule must have an angular
shape.
16. Write the significance/applications of dipole moment.
Solution:
Applications of dipole moment
1. Distinction between polar and non-polar molecules. The molecules having dipole moment
are called polar molecules whereas molecules having zero dipole moment are said to be non-polar
molecules. For example:
ca
ti
(i) Molecules such as H2, N2, O2, Cl2 etc., have non-polar bonds and zero value of dipole moment.
(ii) Molecules such as CO2, BF3, CH4, CCl4, PCl5, SF6, etc., have polar bonds but zero value of dipole
moment.
(iii) Molecules such as HF, HCl, NH3, H2O, NF3, have polar bonds and their dipole moment is greater
than zero. In other words, they are polar molecules.
on
.in
2. Ionic character in a molecule. Dipole moment gives an idea about the ionic character in a bond
or a molecule. For example, let us calculate the percentage of ionic character in HCl molecule.
Experiments have shown that the dipole moment of HCl is 1.03 D and its bond length is 1.257 A° .
Now for 100% ionic character the charge developed on H and Cl atoms would be 4.8 × 10-10 e. s. u.
Therefore, dipole moment in case of 100% ionic character is given as
m ionic = 4.8 × 10-10 ×€1.275 × 10-8 e. s. u. –cm.
= 6.12 × 10-18 e. s. u. –cm = 6.12 D.
The observed dipole moment
m obs = 1.032 D
∴€Percentage Ionic Character =
=
= 16.83%.

In general, larger the value of dipole moment is, more will be the ionic character.
3. Shapes of molecules. A polyatomic molecule has more than two atoms bonded by covalent
bonds. In such cases the idea of a dipole can be applied to individual bonds within the molecule. The
dipole moment of the individual bond in a polyatomic molecule is referred to as bond dipole. The
dipole moment of the molecule depends upon the orientations of various bond dipoles.

21. Apart from tetrahedral geometry, another possible geometry for CH4 is square planar
with the four H atoms at the corners of the square and the C atom at its centre. Explain why
CH4 is not square planar?
Solution:
ca
In CH4 the central carbon atom has no lone pair of electron. Had there been two lone pairs on carbon
atom after bonding with four Hydrogen atoms, it would have been square planer in shape according
to VSEPR theory.
ti
Since carbon atom is smaller and has no d-orbital space, it cannot undergo d2SP3 hybridisation which
is square planer in shape. Since carbon atom undergoes SP3 hybridisation the CH4 molecule is
tetrahedral.

22.
Explain why BeH2 molecule has a zero dipole moment although the Be–H bonds are polar.
.in
Solution:
Be and H differ in their electronegativities. So, the Be – H bond should be a polar bond. BeH2 is sp
hybridized molecule and hence it is linear. H – Be-H angle is 1800.
The dipole moment due to one Be – H bond cancels that due to another Be – H bond. So net dipole
moment is zero.

Solution:
In N-H bond direction of dipole moment is towards hydrogen. Resultant dipole moment is in the

opposite direction to that of dipole moment due to lone pair of N. Hence dipole moment of NF3 has
less dipole moment than NH3.
24. What is meant by hybridisation of atomic orbitals? Describe the shapes

Solution:

Hybridisation may be defined as the phenomenon of intermixing of atomic orbitals of slightly

ti
There are many different types of hybridisation which involve the use of s and p orbitals i.e.,
sp3,sp2 and sp hybridisation.
.in
on
(i) sp3 hybridisation: This type of hybridisation involves the mixing of one orbital of s-sub level and
three orbitals of p-sub level of the valence shell to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals of equivalent
energies and shape. Each sp3 hybrid orbital has 25% s character and 75% p-character. These
hybridised orbitals tend to lie as apart in space as possible so that repulsive interactions between
them are minimum. The four sp3 hybrid orbitals are directed towards the four corners of a
tetrahedron. The angle between the sp3 hybrid orbitals is 109.50.

(i) C2H4
(i) C2H4 or H2 – C = C – H2 is formed by sp2 hybridisation of each of two carbon atoms. The two of
the three hybrid orbitals of each C-atom forms two σ -bonds with two hydrogen atoms and the third
hybrid orbital of one carbon atom forms σ -bonds with third hybrid orbitals of second C-atom. Thus
three σ -bonds are in one plane. The unhybridised orbitals (2pz) of one C-atom laterally overlaps with
that of 2nd C-atom forming one π -bond which is at right angles to the three σ -bonds.

For Eg:
NH3 contains one lone pair of electrons.
H2O contains two lone pair of electrons.
Although CO2 and H2O are both triatomic molecules, the shape of CO2 is linear but H2O is bent. The
shape of the molecules can be predicted by dipole moments. Experiments showed that the dipole
moment of CO2 is zero. This is possible only if bond dipoles of two C=O bonds cancel each other. In
other words, the two bond dipoles must be oriented in opposite directions. This is possible if the
molecule is linear. Similarly H2O has a dipole moment of 1.83 D. Thus its molecule cannot be linear.
Because the bond dipoles do not cancel each other. Thus the H2O molecule must have an angular
shape.

33. Explain the formation of H2 molecule on the basis of valence bond theory.
Solution:
The formation of the simplest molecule, hydrogen (H2) molecule can be explained by VB theory.
H2 molecule is a diatomic homo nuclear molecule. Each H atom has a proton as the positive nucleus
and an electron in 1s orbital. According to VB theory, the H – H covalent bond is formed by the
overlap of the two 1s orbitals of the hydrogen atoms, thus sharing the pair of electrons in a common
region of space lying between the two nuclei. Also, the two electrons overlapping orbitals exist with
opposite spins only. Because of spherical and symmetrical nature of 1s orbitals, when the two 1s
orbitals of the two H atoms overlap, the paired electrons are usually located at a region between two
nuclei. Thus both the electrons are attracted equally by both the nuclei.
The formation process of H2 molecule can be explained by considering the potential energy changes
when the two H atoms approach each other from infinity position in following manner:
ca
(i) When the two H atoms are far apart, there is no interaction between them, an the P. E of the
system of two H atoms is taken as zero.
ti
(ii) As the two atoms approach each other, the inter nuclear distance of separation gets reduced and
the attraction of the nuclei for the electrons increases and the repulsion between nuclei as well as
between the electrons increase.
on
.in
(iii) As long as attraction forces are more than the repulsions the potential energy of the system
decreases than zero and becomes negative. This trend continuous till the potential energy of the
system reaches a minimum value. This corresponds to the most stable state of the system.
(iv) Further decrease in the inter nuclear distance causes steep increase in the potential energy due
to the increased inter-nuclear and inter electronic repulsion and the system becomes unstable.
(v) The distance of separation between the two H atoms at which the total energy of the system is
minimum is considered as the inter-nuclear distance or the bond length of the H2 molecule.
(vi) The decrease in the potential energy takes place, by the release of energy during a single bond
formation.
i.e. When H2 molecule is formed heat is given off. Conversely, to break up the H – H bond energy

For the atomic orbitals to combine resulting in the formation of molecular orbitals the main
conditions are:
1.The combining atomic orbitals should have almost same energies.
For example, in case of homo nuclear diatomic molecules 1s orbital of one atom can combine with 1s
orbital of the other atom but 1s orbital of one atom cannot combine with 2s orbital of the other atom.
2.The extent of overlap between the atomic orbitals of the two atoms should be large.
3.The combining atomic orbitals should have the same symmetry about the molecular axis.
For example, 2px orbital of one atom can combine with 2px orbital of the other atom but not with
2pz orbital.
It must be noted that z-axis is taken as the inter nuclear axis according to modern conventions.

One electron from 3s orbital has jumped to the higher 3d orbital.
After attained the excited state 1s, 3p and 1d orbital (altogether 5 orbitals) are hybridised to form an

corners of a trigonal bipyramidal geometry.
Cl atom is present at each corner of the trigonal bipyramid. In PCl5 , out of the five hybrid orbitals,
three orbitals form P-Cl bond in one plane making an angle (P-Cl-P) 120° with each other. This plane
is represented as equatorial plane and the bonds formed are equatorial bonds.
Out of the remaining two hybrid orbitals, one lie perpendicularly above and the other lie
perpendicularly below the equatorial plane, making an angle 90° with the plane and forms P-Cl

39. Define Hydrogen bond. Is it weaker or stronger than the Van der Walls forces?
Solution:
It is defined as the electrostatic force of attraction which exists between the covalently bonded
H2 atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of the other molecule. For example, in case of
HF, the H2 bond exists between H atom of one molecule and F atom of other molecule.
…………. H – F …………. H – F ………….. H - F …………. H – F …………
The attractive forces between the instantaneous dipoles and induced dipoles are called Van der
Waals forces. These forces are quite weak and its strength lies below 12.5 kJ mol-1.
ca
The strength of Hydrogen bond ranges between 12.5 kJ mol-1 to 41.5 kJ mol-1.
Hence it is clear that H2 bonding is stronger than the Van der Waals forces.
