Chemical Bonding & Molecular Structure
1. Ionic Bonding & Lattice Energy
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
| \(Z\) | Hybridization | Geometry | Bond Angle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | \(sp\) | Linear | 180° |
| 3 | \(sp^2\) | Trigonal Planar | 120° |
| 4 | \(sp^3\) | Tetrahedral | 109°28' |
| 5 | \(sp^3d\) | Trigonal Bipyramidal | 90°, 120° |
| 6 | \(sp^3d^2\) | Octahedral | 90° |
3. VSEPR Theory (Shapes)
lp - lp > lp - bp > bp - bp
Unit: Debye (D). \(1 \text{ D} = 3.33 \times 10^{-30} \text{ C m}\)
V: Valence, L: Lone pair \(e^-\), S: Shared \(e^-\)
4. Molecular Orbital Theory
\(\sigma 1s < \sigma^* 1s < \sigma 2s < \sigma^* 2s < (\pi 2p_x = \pi 2p_y) < \sigma 2p_z \dots\)
For \(O_2, F_2\):\(\dots < \sigma 2p_z < (\pi 2p_x = \pi 2p_y) \dots\)
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)
