NCERT Chemistry Class 11 - Chemical Bonding


NCERT Chemistry Class 11 - Chemical Bonding

 In this article, the following topic ‘Chemical Bonding’ from the unit Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Class 11 Chemistry syllabus is discussed.
Chemistry notes for class 11Chemical bond is an attraction between atoms or we can say elements (are the simplest type of matter containing only one kind of atom). A chemical bond enables the formation of a chemical compound. Hence a compound can be defined as a substance consisting of two or more different or same kind of elements that are bonded chemically. The chemical bonds hold the elements together and form temporary connections that are essential for life. The atoms can be connected together by strong bonds or by weak bonds.
The chemical bonds are essential to the chemistry of a living organism as well as to the stability of the environment in which it lives.
The elements combine in two general ways, and both involve the electrons (outermost or valence electrons) of the atoms of the interacting elements:
  1. Ionic Bond/ Ionic Compounds: They are formed by the transfer of electrons from one element to another element.
  2. Covalent Bond/ Covalent Compounds: They are formed by sharing of electrons between the atoms of different elements.
Ionic Bonds:  An ionic bond is formed when the atoms are held together by electrostatic forces. These compounds are called ionic compound or electrovalent compounds.The compound is neutral overall, as it consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. These can be simple ions such as the sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl) in sodium chloride, or polyatomic species such as the ammonium (NH4+) and carbonate (CO3-2) ions in ammonium carbonate. Individual ions within an ionic compound usually have multiple nearest neighbors, so are not considered to be part of molecules, but instead part of a continuous three-dimensional network, usually in a crystalline structure.

Note: Ionic compounds are made up of a metal and a non- metal (except ammonium chloride which is made up of only non-metals.
Covalent Bonds: A covalent bond is also known as molecular bond. It is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and there is a stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons.In the molecule H2 ( the simplest covalent molecule is the diatomic hydrogen molecule), the hydrogen atoms share the two electrons via covalent bonding. Covalency is greatest between atoms of similar electronegativities. Thus, covalent bonding does not necessarily require that the two atoms be of the same elements, only that they should be of comparable electronegativity. The covalent bonding that entails sharing of electrons over more than two atoms is said to be delocalized.

One to One Correspondence and Equivalent Sets Suppose the members of the family are dinning and plates are prepared on the table then there is a One to one correspondence between the set of family members and the plates prepared. We will indicate this correspondence by the symbol If each element of a set A is associated with one and only one element of a set B and each element of B is associated with one and only one element of set A, then the sets A and B are said to be in one to one correspondence. If both the sets are finite and if they are in one to one correspondence, it is obvious that they have the same number of elements. If two sets have the same number of elements, they are said to be equivalent sets. Using symbol, we write A B. Between two equivalent sets, a one to one corr...

What is the difference between human and physical capital

Difference between human and physical capital Human capital refers to a worker's abilities, education, ability, and other attributes that influence his or her productive capacity and earning potential. Physical capital Presence of trade barriers lead to mobility restriction. Process of formation is economic and technical. Physical capital is separable from the owner. Possibility of trading physical capital in the market exists. Continuous use leads to depreciation. Financial statements are present. Human capital Culture and nationality lead to mobility restriction. Process of formation is conscious and social process. Human capital is not separable Services rendered by the human capital can only be sold. Ageing leads to the depreciation but it can be minimized up to some extent. Financial statements are absent.
