SUBTOPIC- Bond parameters,polar character of a covalent bond,covalent
character of ionic bond.
KEY NOTES :
Bond length-Bond length is defined as the equilibrium
distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a
molecule.
Bond enthalpy-It is defined as the amount of energy required
to break one mole of bonds of a particular type between two
atoms in a gaseous state.
Bond angle-It is defined as the angle between the orbitals
containing bonding electron pairs around the central atom in a
molecule/complex ion.
Bond order-In the Lewis description of covalent bond, the
Bond Order is given by the number of bonds between the two
atoms in a molecule.
Isoelectronic molecules and ions have identical bond
orders; for example, F2 and O2 have bond order 1. N2, CO
2–
and NO+ have bond order 3.
Dipole moment-It is defined as the product of charge on the
constituent atoms and the distance between them.
D.M=Charge x distance
