Pseudo unimolecular reactions: Consider the following acid catalysed reactions: 1. Hydrolysis of ethyl acetate: CH3COOC2H5 + H2O + H+ ———–>CH3COOH + C2H5OH 2. Inversion of cane sugar: C12H22O11 + H2O…
A chemical bonding is an attraction between atoms or molecules and allows the formation of chemical compounds, which contain two or more atoms. It is caused due to redistribution of…
In this type of bond, the outer atomic shell of one atom has a vacancy which allows addition of one or more electrons. These newly added electrons potentially occupy a…
The factors which influence the formation of an ionic bond between a metal and non-metal are discussed below: 1. Ionization Energy: The amount of energy required to remove (to infinity)…
A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. In short, the attraction-to-repulsion stability…
Two types of covalent bonds are formed depending upon the electro negativity of the combining elements. 1. Non-polar covalent bond 2. Polar covalent bond Non-polar covalent bond During the Formation…
The main characteristic properties of covalent compounds are: 1. The covalent compounds do not exist as ions but exist as molecules because of weak inter molecular force. 2. The covalent…
SIMILARITIES: Valence Bond Theory (VBT) and Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT) have the following common features: 1. The Basic principle is same in both the theories. Both involve distribution of electrons.…
Single covalent bond Formation of a covalent bond by sharing of one pair of electrons i.e. two electrons are involved is called a ‘single covalent bond’, or simply a single…
Pi (π) Bonds When sideways overlapping or lateral overlapping of the two atoms take place is known as lateral overlap of their ‘p’ orbital, and the bond formed is known…
