Formal Charges
Formal charges have an important role in organic chemistry since this concept helps us to know whether an atom in a molecule is neutral/bears a positive or negative charge. Even if some molecules are neutral, the atoms within that molecule need not be neutral atoms.
Polarity Of Water
In simple chemical terms, polarity refers to the separation of charges in a chemical species leading into formation of two polar ends which are positively charged end and negatively charged end. Polarity in any molecule occurs due to the differences in the electronegativities of the bonded atoms. Water, as we all know has two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. As oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen thus, there exists polarity in the bonds which is why water is known as a polar solvent.
Valence Bond Theory Vbt
Valence bond theory (VBT) in simple terms explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. It gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wavefunctions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.
Geometry shape is approximate arrangements of all bond pairs and loan pairs around the atom which experiences minimum hindrance between the bond pair- bond pair electrons and bond pair-loan pair electrons around that atom and gain maximum stability.
Hybridization is mixing of two or more atomic orbitals of same atome to produce degenerate and lower energy hybride orbitals. The number of hybride orbitals produced us equal to the number of atomic orbitals participated in hybridization.
Example :-
- one s-orbital and two p-orbitals hybridize then three sp2 hybride orbital will produce.
- one s-orbital and one p-orbital hybridize then two sp hybride orbital will produce.
NOTE :- Hybridize orbitals are used only to form Sigma bonds not used to form pi (π) bonds.
