ionic bond
A type of chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically involving the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
Which bond is non-directional in nature
ionic
no. of charges carried by anion or cation during formation of ionic bond
electrovalency
Variable electrovalency causes
unstable nature of core
inert e- pair effect
Factor for ionic - gain/ ion enthalpy
low (cation/anion form)
Latice energy
energy released when ions bond in a crystal lattice of one gram mole of an ionic compound
ionic properties
hard
high melting boiling points
water soluble
electrical conductivity in molten/aq
no stereoisomerism
covalent properties
soft
usually low melting boiling points
often insoluble in water
poor electrical conductivity
Formal charge
diff bw e- in free state and lewis structure
bond energy Cl2, F2, Br2, I2
Cl2>Br2>F2>I2
Which is more effective in forming bonds, hybrid or pure orbitals
Hybrid coz they allow for better overlap with the atomic orbitals of other atoms
