Covalent bonding occurs between two non-metals, where electrons are shared between atoms to form a stable molecule.
The metal loses electrons to become a positively charged ion (cation), while the non-metal gains electrons to become a negatively charged ion (anion).
Ionic compounds are formed when metals react with non-metals.
<S: Covalent bonds form when atoms share one or more electrons to fill their outer shells and achieve stability.
Covalent bonds form between two atoms sharing electrons to achieve an octet (8 valence electrons).
In covalent bonding, there is notransfer or movement of electrons from one atom to another.
formal charge is extra charge present on atom in any molecule due to gain or loss of electron
Lewis structures show how many pairs of electrons surround each atom in a molecule.
Each dot represents a pair of electrons shared by that atom (in lewis dot str.)
If all the dots are used up, then the Lewis structure is complete.
The central atom has eight dots around it, indicating its full outer shell.
In covalent bond each combining atom contributes atleast one electron to the shared pair
what is ionic or electrovalent bond
the bond formed as a result of electrostatic force between 2 oppositely charged atoms this atom is mostly formed in between metals and non-metals so they'd be converted into cation or anion
lattice enthalpy
the amount of energy required to completely sperate one mole of solid ionic compound into constituent gaseous ion
dipole moment
-it measures the net polarity of any polar covalent bond (mu=q.d)
-mu=0 (non polar)
-mu is not zero (polar)
what is polar and non polar
polar is when an atom has both charged ends and polar when none of the end is polar
octet rule
it was given by kossel lewis in 1961 in which he described in order to have a stable atom we need to complete the octet (8e in lasst shell)and duplet (2e in last shell) i.e they should have noble gas configuration.
ionisation energy
amount of energy required to remove an e from outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom to convert it into cation
electron gain enthalpy
energy released when an isolated gaseous atom takes up an e from an anion
covalent bond (homoatomic and heteroatomic)
revise
non polar covalent bond
the atoms joined by covalent bond are same and those atoms are equally attracted and the shared e pair is equidistant to both of them
polar covalent bond
when bond is shared by 2 diff. atoms w diff. electronegativity and gets displaced towards more electronegative atom
