Topics in Chemical Bonding

1

Chemical Bond and Octet Rule

  • A chemical bond forms when atoms combine to lower their overall energy.
  • Atoms achieve stability by attaining 8 electrons in their valence shell (octet rule), similar to noble gases.
  • The octet rule is based on the inertness of noble gases with ns²np⁶ configuration.
2

Ionic Bonding

  • Ionic bonds form by complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal.
  • Cation formation is favored by low ionization energy, large atomic size, and low positive charge.
  • Anion formation is favored by high electron affinity, small atomic size, and low negative charge.
3

Covalent Bonding and Polar Bonds

  • Covalent bonds form by sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
  • Each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair.
  • Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are unequally shared due to electronegativity difference.
4

VSEPR Theory and Molecular Shapes

  • VSEPR theory predicts molecular geometry based on electron pair repulsion around the central atom.
  • Electron pairs (bonding and lone) arrange to minimize repulsion: LP-LP > LP-BP > BP-BP.
  • Geometry depends on total electron pairs; shape depends on bonding-lone pair distribution.
