Concept Introduction:
The bond result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions is called ionic bond and the bond result from the mutual sharing of electrons between atoms is called covalent bond.
The bond order is defined as the number of electron pairs that are shared between two atoms. The bond order in single bond is one. The bond order in a double bond is two and in triple bond a bond order is three.
The increase in bond order between two atoms increases the strength of the bond and decreases the distance of bond.

Chemistry: Principles and Practice
- What aspect of the following Lewis structure indicates that the concept of coordinate covalency is needed to explain the bonding in the molecule?arrow_forwardCarbon monoxide (CO) forms bonds to a variety of metals and metal ions. liS ability to bond to iron in hemoglobin is the reason that CO is so toxic. The bond carbon monoxide forms to metals is through the carbon atom: MCO a. On the basis of electronegativities, would you expect the carbon atom or the oxgen atom to form bonds to metals? b. Assign formal charges to the atoms in CO. Which atom would you expect to bond to a metal on this basis? c. In the MO model, bonding MOs place more electron density near the more electronegative atom. (See the HF molecule in Figs. 4-54 and 4-55.) Antibonding MOs place more electron density near the less electronegative atom in the diatomic molecule. Use the MO model to predict which atom of carbon monoxide should form bonds to metals.arrow_forwardExplain why bonds occur at specific average bond distances instead of the atoms approaching each other infinitely close.arrow_forward
- According to the VSEPR model, what are the arrangements of two, three, four, five, and six valence-shell electron pairs about an atom?arrow_forwardWhat is the molecular structure of a molecule that has a trigonal planar electron-pair geometry and one lone pair on the central atom?arrow_forward6) Explain how o and a bonds are similar and how they are different. A) Differences: o bonds are stronger and result from end-to-end overlap and all single bonds are o bonds; a bonds between the same two atoms are weaker because they result from side-by-side overlap, and multiple bonds contain one or more n bonds (in addition to a o bond). B) Similarities: Both types of bonds result from overlap of atomic orbitals on adjacent atoms. C) Both A and B are correct 7) How many o and a bonds are present in the molecule HCN (H-C=N) ? A) two o (H-C and C-N) and two A B) two o (H-C and C-N) and one C) one o (H-C) and three narrow_forward
- What is the molecular geometry (same as molecular shape) if you have 2 single bonds, 1 doubles bond and 1 lone pair around the center atom?arrow_forwardWhat effect does the presence of lone-pair electrons have on the bond angles in a molecule?arrow_forwardSuppose that a molecule has four bonding groups and one lone pair on the central atom. Suppose further that the molecule is confined to two dimensions (this is a purely hypothetical assumption for the sake of understanding the principles behind VSEPR theory). Draw the molecule and estimate the bond angles.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is/are true about the Lewis bond theory? (a) It explains the stability of the molecule. (b) It explains why one covalent bond might differ from another. (c) It ignores the energy changes in chemical bond formation. (d) It treats all covalent bond in the same manner. a and b O b and c O c and d a and darrow_forwardIdentify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. Which of these molecules will have a tetrahedral electron geometry and a tetrahedral molecular geometry?arrow_forwardConsider the compound with the folloring lewis structure: Draw the molecule to show its correct 3 dimensional shape, then label the shape around each central atom. What are the bond angles here?arrow_forward
