What is a chemical bond?

Identify and define the four major types of chemical bonding?

Answer:

Chemical Bond

The attractive force which holds the atom together to form a chemical compound or molecule is called a chemical bond.

Watch Chemical bonding in Hindi / Urdu

EXPLANATION:

The chemical reactivity of free elements other than an inert gas element is due to incomplete octet in their outermost shell.
Therefore, to attain stability and to complete the outermost shell with electrons, atoms combine chemically to form chemical bonds.

EXAMPLE

Molecules of the same elements consist of the same kind of atoms

While molecules of the compounds are made up of different kinds of atoms.

H20

CO2

Types of Chemical Bonds:

Chemical bonds are of the following types

Ionic bond
Covalent bond
Co-ordinate covalent bond
Metallic bond

Ionic Bond:

Why do atoms form a chemical bond?

Why most atoms are chemically bonded to other atoms in nature?

ANSWER:

Chemical bond:

The attractive force which holds the atoms together to form a compound or molecule is called a Chemical bond.

REASONS:

Every system in the universe tends to lower its energy, to attain stability.
Water flows from a higher level to a lower level.
Similarly, electricity flows from higher potential to lower potential and heat flows from a hot body to a cold body.
This happens because both water and electricity are trying to decrease their energy.
Atoms in the same way tend to decrease their energy.
The energy of isolated hydrogen atoms is higher than the two bonded hydrogen atoms.
That is, the combination of atoms gives a stable molecule through the emission of energy.
They can decrease the energy by combining with other atoms and forming a chemical bond.

EXAMPLE:

H + H 🡪H—H🡪H₂

Cl +Cl 🡪Cl—Cl🡪Cl₂

CONCLUSION:

It is concluded from the above-mentioned reason that atoms form a chemical bond.

————————————————————–

Explain the two concepts, which explain the chemical bonding?

ANSWER:

Chemical bonding is explained with the help of two important concepts.

The Valence Concept
The Orbital Concept

The Valence Concept (Electric theory of valence)

INTRODUCTION:

In 1916, G.N Lewis and W. Kossel presented the electronic theory of valence.

STATEMENT:

It states that “In a chemical bond formation, atoms take part by losing, gain or sharing of electrons, to attain the inert or noble gas electronic configuration”

EXPLANATION:

When atoms have two or eight electrons in their outermost shell, they are stable.
The electron theory of valence can be explained named as Octet or Duplet’s theory of valance.

Octet Theory Of Valence / Rule Of Eight:

“The tendency of atoms to attain eight electrons in the outermost shell to attain stability.”

EXAMPLE:

Oxygen (O) has six electrons in its valence shell.
It shares or gains two electrons in its outermost shell and attains stability by completing its outermost shell with eight electrons.

This is also named “The Octet rule or the rule of eight”.

Duplet Rule/Rule Of Two:

“The tendency of atoms to attain two valance electrons to attain stability.”

EXAMPLE:

Helium (He) has two electrons in its valence shell and is stable.
The elements of group 8 of the periodic table, such as helium, neon, and argon are known as Noble Gases.
They are also known as Inert Gases because they are very stable and rarely take part in chemical reactions to form compounds.
Their stability comes from their filled outermost shell.
Except for Helium which has two electrons in its outermost shell, all other noble gasses have their outermost shell filled with eight electrons.
A shell with eight electrons is called an Octet and is very stable.
Thus, when atoms take part in chemical reactions, they tend to combine in ways to complete eight electrons in their outermost shell, to attain the electronic configuration of the noble gasses. (except Helium)

The Orbital Concept:

This concept is based on the combination of atomic orbital to produce molecular orbital.
The atomic orbital has one electron.
These orbitals when coming close to one another, overlap each other.
This overlapping is either Endwise or Sidewise.
Endwise overlapping produces Sigma Bond.
Sidewise overlapping produces Pi-Bond.

What is an Ionic bond? Explain with an example.

ANSWER:

Ionic Bond:

“The chemical bond which is formed due to complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom is called Ionic bond or electrovalent bond”.

Condition:

Following are the conditions that are necessary for the formation of an Ionic bond.

One element should be metal while other elements should be non-metal.
The electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms should be 1.7 or above.
The ionization energy of metal should be low.
The electronegativity of non-metal should be high.

EXPLANATION:

The transfer of electrons between atoms completes the octet or duplet.
This type of bonding is always between metal and non-metal.
Metals always lose electrons to form Cations and non-metals gain electrons to form Anions.
In ionic bond formation, one atom loses an electron, and the other gain it.
The atom that losses the electron acquires a positive charge and the other atom, which gains an electron becomes a negatively charged particle.
Due to opposite charges, the electrostatic force of attraction is set up between them.
This force holds these ions together.
This force of attraction is referred to as an ionic bond.
An atom having low ionization energy will lose one or more electrons to form a cation.
An atom having high electronegativity will gain one or more electrons to form an anion.

EXAMPLE:

Formation Of Sodium Chloride (NaCl):

Sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) combine to form sodium chloride (NaCl).

Formation Of Calcium Chloride (CaCl2):
Ca belongs to group II A
Cl belongs to group VII A
The electronegativity of calcium is 1.0 while chlorine is 3.0
The electronegativity difference between calcium and chlorine is 2.0
Thus, an ionic bond is formed
Calcium has 2 electrons in its valence shell
It tends to lose electrons to attain the inert gas electronic configuration of Neon (Ne)
Thus, the calcium ion (Ca⁺) is formed

Ca ——-🡪 Ca⁺² + 2^e-

Chlorine needs one electron to complete its valence shell
It tends to gain one electron to attain the inert gas electronic configuration of Argon (Ar)
So, it forms chlorine ion
