Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure

High-Yield Revision for JEE Main, Advanced & NEET

1. Ionic Bonding & Lattice Energy

Lattice Energy (\(U\)):
\[ U \propto \frac{z^+ z^-}{r^+ + r^-} \]

Directly proportional to charges, inversely to inter-ionic distance.

Born-Haber Cycle

\(\Delta H_f = S + \frac{1}{2}D + IE + EA + U\)

S: Sublimation, D: Dissociation, IE: Ionization, EA: Electron Affinity

Fajan's Rules (Covalent Character)

Covalent character \(\uparrow\) if:

  • Small Cation, Large Anion
  • High Charge on either ion
  • Pseudo-noble gas configuration (\(ns^2 np^6 nd^{10}\))

2. Valence Bond Theory & Hybridization

Steric Number (\(Z\)) Calculation:
\[ Z = \frac{1}{2} [V + M - C + A] \]
\(V\): Valence \(e^-\) (Central)
\(M\): Monovalent atoms
\(C\): Cationic charge
\(A\): Anionic charge
\(Z\) Hybridization Geometry Bond Angle
2\(sp\)Linear180°
3\(sp^2\)Trigonal Planar120°
4\(sp^3\)Tetrahedral109°28'
5\(sp^3d\)Trigonal Bipyramidal90°, 120°
6\(sp^3d^2\)Octahedral90°

3. VSEPR Theory (Shapes)

Repulsion Order:

lp - lp > lp - bp > bp - bp

Dipole Moment (\(\mu\)): \[ \mu = q \times d \]

Unit: Debye (D). \(1 \text{ D} = 3.33 \times 10^{-30} \text{ C m}\)

Formal Charge (F.C.): \[ [V] - [L] - \frac{1}{2}[S] \]

V: Valence, L: Lone pair \(e^-\), S: Shared \(e^-\)

4. Molecular Orbital Theory

Bond Order (B.O.):
\[ \text{B.O.} = \frac{N_b - N_a}{2} \]
B.O. \(\propto\) Bond Strength \(\propto 1/\text{Bond Length}\)
Electronic Config. (upto \(N_2\)):

\(\sigma 1s < \sigma^* 1s < \sigma 2s < \sigma^* 2s < (\pi 2p_x = \pi 2p_y) < \sigma 2p_z \dots\)

For \(O_2, F_2\):

\(\dots < \sigma 2p_z < (\pi 2p_x = \pi 2p_y) \dots\)

Magnetic Nature: If unpaired electrons exist \(\implies\) Paramagnetic. If all paired \(\implies\) Diamagnetic.

5. Hydrogen Bonding

Intermolecular H-bond

Between different molecules. Increases B.P., Solubility, and Viscosity. (e.g., \(H_2O, NH_3, HF\))

Intramolecular H-bond

Within the same molecule (Chelation). Decreases B.P. and Solubility. (e.g., o-nitrophenol)
