Valence Bond theory (VBT)

VBT

Definition :

It explaind that " half filled atomic orbital combine to form new bigger orbitals".

Given by heitler and London(1927)
"Two orbital form covalent Bond by overlapping"
Most important conditions are:
  • The two orbitals which overlap should be Valence orbital
  • Are half filled Retain it's properties
  • For proper alignment, Half filled orbitals should be close to on another.
Assumption:
  1. covalent Bond formation in hydrogen molecule:
  2. It has one partially filled 1st atomic orbital.
  3. By linear combination of atomic orbital wave function,the wave function of molecules are obtained.
  4. This actually obtain by using resonance.
  5. Bond energy is formed by paring of electrons.
  6. In between two nuclei ,electron pair is present.
  7. The orbitals which overlap must have symmetry and energy.the more storger the overlap the more stronger will be Bond between orbitals.
  8. Heitler and London explain that the electrons should be same and their wave function should express their similarity.
  9. The Pauli's exculsion principle should explain in electron pairing and their spin qauntum value number for both electrons should be different.

Ionic or Electrovalent bond (properties,/characteristics, Definition,types,structures, examples)

 IONIC OR ELECTROVALENT BONDS: Definition of ionic or Electrovalent bond: It formed by electrostatic attraction between positive and negative ions, this is achieve by the transfer of single or more electrons to the atoms or atomic groups. • Atom loses or gain electrons to gain nearest Nobel gas configuration. • Ionic bonds are most likely to formed by when compounds have low ionization energies will react with elements have higher electronegative and electron affinity. • Generally: Group IA and IIA react with VI A or VII A. • Mostly metals and non metal react to form the ionic compounds. Reaction of sodium with chloride(example of electrovalent compounds): Na +Cl ---->NaCl In this reaction sodium loses a single electron to achieve neon ( Nobel gas) configuration. The energy it required is 496kJ/mol Where as the chlorine attain a electron and converted to chloride ion it is trying to get electronic configuration of argon . The energy it releases is 349kJ/mol IONIC  CRYSTAL ST
