Q4. Hydrogen bonds are formed in many compounds e.g., H20, HF, NH3. The boiling point of such compounds depends to a large extent on the strength of hydrogen bond and the number of hydrogen bonds: The correct decreasing order of the boiling points of above compounds is
(a) HF>H20>NH3                        
(b) H20>HF>NH3
(c) NH3>HF>H20                       

(d) NH3>H20>HF
Sol: (b) Strength of H-bonding depends on the electronegativity of the atom which follows the order: F > O > N .
Strength of H-bond is in the order:
H……. F > H…….. O > H…….. N
But each H20 molecule is linked to 4 other H20 molecules through H-bonds whereas each HF molecule is linked only to two other HF molecules.
Hence, correct decreasing order of the boiling points is HzO > HF > NH3.

Sol: Dimethyl ether has larger bond angle than water. This is because there is more repulsion between bond pairs of CH3 groups attached in ether than between bond pairs of hydrogen atoms attached to oxygen in water. The carbon of CH3 group in ether is attached to three hydrogen atoms through c bonds and electron pairs of these bonds add to the electron charge density on carbon atom. Hence, repulsion between two -CH3 groups will be more than that between two H atoms.

Q41. Give reasons for the following: ‘
(a) Covalent bonds are directional bonds while ionic bonds are non- directional.
(b) Water molecule has bent structure whereas carbon dioxide molecule is linear.
(c) Ethyne molecule is linear.
Sol: (i) Since the covalent bond depends on the overlapping of orbitals between different orbitals, the geometry of the molecule is different. The orientation of overlap is different. The orientation of overlap is the factor responsible for their directional nature.
(ii) Due to presence of two lone pairs of electrons on oxygen atom in HiO the repulsion between Ip-lp is more. C02 undergoes sp hybridization resulting in linear shape (O = C = O) while H20 undergoes .sp3 hybridisation resulting in distorted tetrahedral or bent structure.

Long Answer Type Questions
Q60. (i) Discuss the significance/applications of dipole moment.
(ii) Represent diagrammatically the bond moments and the resultant dipole moment in C02, NF3 and CHCl3.

Sol: (i) Dipole moment plays very important role in understanding the nature of chemical bond. A few applications are given below:
(a) Distinction between, polar and non-polar molecules. The measurement of dipole moment can help us to distinguish between polar and non-polar molecules. Non-polar molecules have zero dipole
moment while polar molecules have some value of dipole moment.
(b) Degree of polarity in a molecule. Dipole moment measurement also gives an idea about the degree of polarity specially in a diatomic molecule. The greater the dipole moment, the greater is the polarity in such a molecule.
(c) Shape of molecules. In case of molecules containing more than two atoms, the dipole moment not only depends upon the individual dipole moments of the bonds but also on the arrangement of bonds.
.Thus, dipole moment is used to find the shapes of molecules.
(d) Ionic character in a molecule. Knowing the electronegativities of atoms involved in a molecule, it is possible to predict the nature of chemical bond formed. If the difference in electronegativities of two atoms is large, the bond will be highly polar. As an extreme case, when the electron is completely transferred from one atom to another, an ionic bond is formed. Therefore, the ionic bond is regarded as an extreme case of covalent bond. The greater the difference in electronegativities of the bonded atoms, the higher is the ionic character
(e) Distinguish between cis- and trans- isomers. Dipole moment measurements help to distinguish between cis- and trans- isomers because ds-isomer has usually higher dipole moment than trans isomer.
(f) Distinguish between ortho, meta and para isomers. Dipole moment measurements help to distinguish between o-, m- and p-isomers because the dipole moment of p-isomer is zero and that of o-isomers is more than that of m-isomer.

No bond is formed between two Ne atoms or in other words, Ne2 does not exist.
Bond Order = ½ (10 – 10) = 0 (No bond)

Q62. Briefly describe the valence bond theory of covalent bond formation by taking an example of hydrogen. How can you interpret energy changes taking place in the formation of dihydrogen?
Sol: The valence bond theory was put forward by Heitler and London in 1927. It was later improved and developed by L. Pauling and J.C. Slater in 1931. The valence bond theory is based on the knowledge of atomic orbitals and electronic configurations of elements, overlap criteria of atomic orbitals and stability of molecule.
The main points of valence bond theory are
(i) Atoms do not lose their identity even after the formation of the molecule.
(ii) The bond is formed due to the interaction of only the valence electrons as the two atoms come close to each other. The inner electrons do not participate in the bond formation.
(iii) During the formation of bond, only the valence electrons from each bonded atom lose their identity. The other electrons remain unaffected.
(iv) The stability of bond is accounted by the fact that the formation of bond is accompanied by release of energy. The molecule has minimum energy at a certain distance between the atoms known as intemuclear distance. Larger the decrease in energy, stronger will be the bond formed.

Valence bond Treatment of Hydrogen Molecule:
Consider two hydrogen atoms A and B approaching each other havingnuclei Ha and HB and the corresponding electrons eA and eB respectively.
When atoms come closer to form molecules new forces begin to operate.
(a) The force of attraction between nucleus of atom and electron of another atom.
(b) The force of repulsion between two nuclei of the atom and electron of two atoms.

Fig. (a) Two hydrogen atoms at a large distance and hence, no interaction, (b) Two hydrogen atom closer to each other atomic orbitals begin to interact, (c) Attractive and repulsive forces in hydrogen atoms when interaction begins. In case of hydrogen: Figure ‘a’ shows that two hydrogen atoms are at farthest distances and their electron distribution is absolutely symmetrical.
(a) When two hydrogen atom start coming closer to each other, the electron cloud becomes distorted and new attractive and repulsive forces begin to operate as shown in figure ‘c’
(b) In figure ‘c’ dotted lines show attractive forces present in atom already and bold lines show the new attractive and repulsive forces.
(c) It has been found experimentally that the magnitude of net attractive forces is more than net repulsive forces. Thus stable hydrogen molecule is formed.

Potential energy diagram for formation of hydrogen molecules:
When two hydrogen atoms are at farther distance, there is no force operating between them, when they start coming closer to each other, force of attraction comes into play and their potential energy starts decreasing. As they come closer to each other potential goes on decreasing, but a point is reached, when potential energy acquires minimum value.
Note:
(a) This distance corresponding to this minimum energy value is called the distance of maximum possible approach, i.e. the point which corresponds to minimum energy and maximum stability.
(b) If atoms come further closer than this distance of maximum possible approach, then potential energy starts increasing and force of repulsion comes into play and molecules starts becoming unstable.
