Types of Chemical Bonds

The attractive force which has the ability of holding various constituent elements like atoms, ions, molecules, etc. together in different chemical species is termed as a chemical bond. Chemical compounds are dependent on the strength of chemical bonds b…

Polarizability In Organic Chemistry

Polarizability refers to the ability of an atom/molecule to distort the electron cloud of neighboring species towards itself and the process of distortion of electron cloud is known as polarization.

Coordinate Covalent Bonds

A coordinate covalent bond is also known as a dative bond, which is a type of covalent bond. It is formed between two atoms, where the two electrons required to form the bond come from the same atom resulting in a semi-polar bond. The study of coordinate…

Chapter 10, Problem 78E

Students have asked these similar questions

Lewis structure of HCN. Any polar bonds in molecule? Polar or non polar ?

Use your knowledge to apply to the new idea. “Every atom in a stable molecule must have 8 valence electrons” • Explain why the statement is incorrect • Write the statement in the correct way • In the correct statement use the terms OCTET RULE, VALENCE ELECTRON, ENERGY LEVEL.

Electronegativity is defined as the relative ability of an atom in a molecule to attract shared electrons to itself. We use differences in electronegativity to account for certain properties of bonds. In your initial post to the discussion, answer the following questions: What if all atoms had the same electronegativity values? How do you think bonding between atoms would be affected? What are some differences we would notice?
