Hydroxides of Alkali Metals

Overview of bond length When two atoms form a covalent bond, the distance between their centres is called bond length. Bond order is determined by the number of bonds, based on the number of electrons. The bond length and bond order are inversely related to each other. Bond length is generally measured on a picometre […]

Hydrogen Bonding in Hydrogen Fluoride

H-Bond is the formulation of the hydrogen bond, which is a type of attractive intermolecular force. This phenomenon occurs by the dipole-to-dipole interaction among hydrogen atoms and highly electronegative atoms. The hydrogen bond is generally weaker than the covalent or ionic bond. However, it is stronger than the Van der Waals forces.  Experts classified hydrogen

Hydrogen Bonding in Ammonia

In simple terms, hydrogen bonding is the formation of hydrogen bonds. It mainly occurs between an electronegative and a hydrogen atom. Some of the common electronegative atoms are fluorine, chlorine, and oxygen. Compared to the covalent or ionic bond, the hydrogen bond is generally weaker. However, it is stronger than the van der Waals forces.

Hydrogen Bonding in Alcohols and Carboxylic Acid

Introduction In chemistry, hydrogen bonding can be defined as the process by which a hydrogen bond is formed. This process mainly occurs between an electronegative such as fluorine, chlorine, oxygen, and a hydrogen atom. The hydrogen bond is generally weaker than the covalent or ionic bond. However, it is stronger than the van der Waals

Hydrogen Bonding and its Applications

Introduction When a hydrogen bond and an atom with a lone pair attract each other and get bonded, such bonding is known as hydrogen bonding. Being a type of chemical bond, this type of bonding involves electrostatic forces of attraction. The hydrogen molecule must be bonded with a highly electronegative atom for this type of

Hydrogen Bonding

Hydrogen bonding is referred to the process of forming hydrogen bonds that are a great intermolecular force’s special class which takes place as a result of the interaction between the highly electronegative atom and hydrogen atom. For example, water which can be written as (H2O), hydrogen is covalently bonded to electronegative atoms. As a result,

Hybridization of Triiodide Ion

Elements that are unstable combine usually with other elements either by losing or gaining or sharing electrons. This is said to be chemical bonding. Usually, elements combine with other elements only with the help of valence electrons. Valence electrons are those that are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These are far from

Hybridisation of Water Molecules

Water is an inorganic compound with a polar molecule. At room temperature, it is a colourless and odourless liquid. More studies have been conducted on water than on any other compound. It is known as the universal solvent and even the solvent of life. All these properties of water are a result of its molecular
