Coordinate Bond Diagram

Coordinate bonds are bonds formed between objects or features with coordinates. Coordinates are specified by a set of numbers that indicate the location of an object or feature in a 2D or 3D space. The coordinates of an object or feature can be thought of as its position or location on a coordinate plane or […]

Concept of Ionic and Covalent Bonds

Introduction The two or more atoms, ions, or molecules are held together by forming a chemical bond between them to yield a compound. The stability of the compound depends upon the type of bond formed between the two or more atoms, and the type of bond formed varies in strength and properties. Primarily there are

Carbonyl (Aldehyde and Ketones) Carboxyl and Amino Groups in Organic Compounds

Introduction Compounds seen in liquid, solid or gaseous states that contain carbon in their molecules are referred to as organic compounds. These compounds can be seen in multiple formats, including space-filled models, Lewis structures, and structural formulas.  Carbonyl group is a prominent class of molecules coming under organic chemistry. It features a carbon (C) atom

Bond Angle

We study a wide range of subjects, some of which are interrelated. One such relation between math and science is the bond parameters like angle, length, etc., which go hand in hand with geometrical bond formation among atoms. Different atoms come together to give and take electrons, or share electrons between them to acquire stability.

Conditions for Writing the Lewis Dot Structures

If the molecular formula of a molecule is known, electron dot structures or Lewis dot formulas can be drawn. It specifies the type of bond and the relative positions of the molecule’s atoms. In honour of American chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis, molecules are represented in a Lewis electron dot structure, or simply a Lewis structure.
