Write the important conditions required for the linear combination of atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.

The given conditions should be satisfied by atomic orbitals of form molecular orbitals:1.     The combining atomic orbitals must have an equivalent or nearly an equivalent energy. This means that during a homonuclear...

Explain with the help of suitable example covalent bonds.

When two dissimilar atoms having different electronegativities combine to form a covalent bond, the bond pair of electrons are not shared equally. The bond pair shifts towards the nucleus of the atom having greater el...

Define electronegativity? How does it differ from electron gain enthalpy?

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract a bond pair of electrons towards itself. The electronegativity of any given element is not constant. It varies according to the element to...

How do you express the bond strength in terms of bond order?

Bond strength represents the extent of bonding between two atoms forming a molecule. The larger the bond energy, the stronger is the bond and the greater is the bond order.

Explain the formation of a chemical bond.

A chemical bond is defined as an attractive force that holds the constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in a chemical species. Various theories have been suggested for the formation of chemical bonds such as the el...

What is the basic difference between the terms electron gain enthalpy and electronegativity?

The tendency of an isolated gaseous atom to accept an electron is measured by electron gain enthalpy, whereas the tendency of an atom in a chemical compound to attract a shared pair of electrons is measured by electro...

What are the various factors due to which the ionization enthalpy of the main group elements tends to decrease down a group?

The following are the causes that cause the ionisation enthalpy of the primary group elements to fall along a group:(i) Elements' atomic sizes grow larger: The number of shells grows as we proceed down a group. As a re...

How would you explain the fact that the first ionization enthalpy of sodium is lower than that of magnesium but its second ionization enthalpy is higher than th...

Sodium has a higher initial ionisation enthalpy than magnesium. This is mostly due to the following two factors:(a) Sodium's atomic size is larger than that of magnesium.(b) Magnesium has a higher effective nuclear char...

What is the significance of the terms - ‘isolated gaseous atom’ and ‘ground state’ while defining the ionization enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy?

The energy required to remove an electron from an isolated gaseous atom in its ground state is known as ionisation enthalpy. Despite the fact that the atoms are far separated in the gaseous state, there are some attrac...

Explain why cations are smaller and anions larger in radii than their parent atoms.

A cation possesses fewer electrons than its parent atom while maintaining the same nuclear charge. As a result, a cation's nucleus attracts electrons more than its parent atom's nucleus. As a result, a cation is small...
