Chemical Bond and Types of bonds ionic bond or elctrovalent bond
CHEMICAL BONDING Definition : The attractive force present between the atoms that holds the atoms together as a molecule is known as “ Chemical Bond” · 1) Why do atoms combine to form a molecule? · 2) Why do atoms combine in a fixed ratio? · 3) How can the properties of compounds be understood in term of attractive forces? CAUSE OF CHEMICAL COMBINATION · Tendency to acquire inert gas electronic configuration (ns2np6). Atoms of elements acquire eight electrons in their valence shell by involving in chemical combination is known as “ Octet rule” · Tendency to acquire minimum energy 1) The atoms are unstable and possess high energy 2) During bond formation energy is released. This energy is known as bond energy. 3) Bond formation between atoms leads to stability with lesser energy. OCTET RULE · Noble gas elements, except He(1s2), contain 8 electrons in the valence shell. The stability of these elements is due to its octet configuration. · Ot
