Introduction A formal charge is defined or described as the charge (q) assigned (provided) to an atom (a) in a molecule (m), assuming that the electrons (e) in all bonds or chemical bonds are shared (divided) equally (=) between (b/w) the atoms (a), irrespective of relative (respective) electronegativity. Or the formal (f) charge can also be defined as the difference (d) between (b/w) the number (no.) of valence electrons (e) of an atom (a) in a neutral type free state (s) and the number (no) provided to that particular atom in a structure named Lewis Structure. The equation or formula ... Read More

Introduction The intermolecular force would be the strong force that exists between surrounding atoms. Thermal energy is the total of all molecules' and particles' kinetic energy. The intermolecular forces of attraction could be also known as Vander Waals forces. Whenever atoms, molecules, as well as ions are close. In contrast, intermolecular forces relate to the covalent bonds which occur throughout molecules. Thermal interaction includes the energy inherent within a system and has been relevant to its temperature. What do you mean by Intermolecular Forces? Intermolecular forces are indeed the attracting as well as repulsive forces which thus exist in between ... Read More

Introduction The structure of acetylene is one of the most significant attributes that help in understanding the componential importance of acetylene. “Quantum mechanical theories” are helpful in presenting the structural components of acetylene. Triple bonds are formed within atoms and this bond is known to be the strongest one among all other bonds. The structure of acetylene is “unsaturated hydrocarbon” in which a minimum range of carbon triple bond is found. The generation of a triple bond is based on two atoms’ capabilities. What is Acetylene? Pure ethylene is highly unstable in nature and it consists of two individual carbon ... Read More

Introduction Dipole moments can be developed both in ionic and covalent compounds. It measures the separation of positive and negative charges in the molecule, and hence, can be considered for the measurement of polarity in molecules. The separation of charges in any molecule results in a dipole moment. This separation of charges takes place due to the difference in electronegativity of the bonded atoms in a compound. Between two bonded atoms in a bond, if one is more electronegative than the other, then the atom with more electronegativity attracts the bonded electron cloud towards itself. As a result of which ... Read More

Introduction Primary bonds and secondary bonds are the two main categories into which bonds can be split. Secondary bonds, as opposed to primary bonds, are what hold molecules together mechanically. Atoms in molecules are held together chemically by primary bonds. The three basic types of bonding are metallic, covalent, and ionic. Examples of secondary bonds include hydrogen, dipole, and dispersion bonds. Primary bonds are more stable than secondary forces and have far higher bond energies. Metallic bonds are formed when various sorts of atoms share various types of electrons in a metal lattice as opposed to covalent connections, which are ... Read More

Introduction In the field of chemistry, studying chemical bonds is crucial as well as fascinating. In reality, a bond serves as a force that holds atoms together while they interact. Chemical bonds can also be divided into many types, including ionic, covalent, polar, and hydrogen connections. In addition to the bonds mentioned above, there are numerous other kinds of bonds. We will go into detail on the covalent bonds known as sigma bonds and pi bonds in this section. Covalent bonding does play a critical role in the existence of chemicals. The essay will also aid in providing a clear ... Read More

Introduction Between 2 interconnected atoms, a polar bond does have an unequal number of electrons, while a nonpolar bond seems to have an equal proportion of electrons. Molecules are produced if atoms of different as well as similar elements join, but a Covalent Bond has been generated when 2 atoms share a couple of electrons. Covalent bonds between atoms are classed as polar or nonpolar based on how the associated electrons are allocated amongst the elements to which they have been bound. What are Polar Bonds? One form of covalent bond is indeed a polar bond. A polar bond ... Read More

Introduction A variety of factors are used to evaluate covalent bonding. Bond length, bond strength, bond polarity, and bond multiplicity are only a few of them. Let's have a look at what these characteristics signify and how they affect us. Let's start with the bond length. Bond Length The equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two bound atoms in a molecule is defined as bond length. The bond length is determined by each atom in the bonded pair. Each atom of the bonded pair participates in the bond length of a covalent bond. The contribution of each atom is referred ... Read More

Introduction The amount of energy produced when one mole of bonds is created in isolated gaseous atoms to form a gaseous compound is known as bond formation energy or bond energy. The amount of energy necessary to break the link between two gaseous compounds and generate isolated gaseous atoms is known as bond dissociation energy. These two values are usually the same for a diatomic molecule, hence the phrase "bond energy" is employed. The phrase ‘average bond energy’ is used to describe the bond energy of a polyatomic molecule. Bond Energy Corresponding to a Chemical Bond The average bond energy ... Read More

Introduction The energy that is released in various forms during the chemical reaction is called chemical energy. This energy is mainly released in the form of heat and includes thermal, mechanical, and kinetic energies. Chemical energy is also considered as the form of potential energy. This energy is often stored in the bonds of chemical compounds like atoms and molecules. The energy in atoms or molecules is then released in a chemical reaction and produces cheat as by-products that is determined as exothermic reaction. Examples of stored chemical energy are petroleum, natural gases, biomass, coal, and batteries. The chemical energy ... Read More
