Question 3.
Explain the term formal charge with an example.
Answer:
The formal charge for the atom in a molecule or ion is the charge calculated for that atom based on the Lewis structure of the molecule or ion by using the equation.
Formal charge of the atom in a molecule = number of valence electrons in free atoms – (number of lone pair or non bonding electrons + \(\frac{1}{2}\) number of bonding electrons)
Formal charge = Nv – \(\left(\mathrm{N}_{l}+\frac{\mathbf{N}_{b}}{2}\right)\)

Samacheer Kalvi TN State Board 11th Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding

Question 21.
Explain the formation of a polar covalent bond with an example.
Answer:
A polar covalent bond is formed between two atoms having a large difference in their electronegativities. In such a ease, the highly electronegative atom attracts the shared pair of electrons towards itself. As a result, a partial negative charge is developed on the electronegative atom arid a partial positive charge is developed on the electropositive atom, eg: Hδ+ – Fδ-. Thus apolarity is created between the two atoms. This type of covalent bond is known as polar covalent bond.

Question 22.
Explain why the dipole moment of carbon dioxide is zero.
Answer:
In CO2, the dipole moments of two polar bonds (CO) are equal in magnitude but have opposite direction. Hence, the net dipole moment of the CO2 is, p = µ1 + µ2

Question 24.
How will you determine the extent of ionic character in a covalent bond?
Answer:
The extent of ionic character in a covalent bond can be related to the electro negativity difference to the bonded atoms. In a typical polar molecule, Aδ+ – Bδ, the electronegativity difference (χA – χB) can he used to predict the percentage of ionic character as follows.

If the electronegativity difference (χA – χB)> is equal to 1.7, then the bond A – B has 50% ionic – character if it is greater than 1.7, then the bond A – B has more than 50% ionic character and if it is lesser than 1.7, then the bond A – B has less than 50% ionic character.

Question 25.
Explain the term polarization.
Answer:
In an ionic compound, there is an electrostatic attractive force, between the cation and anion. The positively charged cation attracts the valence electrons of anion while repelling the nucleus. This causes a distortion in the electron cloud of the anion and its electron density drifts towards the cation, which results in some sharing of the valence electrons between these ions. Thus, a partial covalent character is developed between them. This phenomenon is called polarization.

Question 26.
SnCl2 is ionic but SnCl4 is covalent. Explain.
Answer:
The size of Sn+4 is smaller than Sn+2. Hence, polarization or distortion of electrons charge cloud of chloride ion is more. Hence SnCl4 is covalent.

Question 27.
Among NaCl, MgCl2, AlCl3, AlCl3 is covalent, while others are ionic. Explain.
Answer:
Greater the charge of the ion greater is its polarisability. Hence greater is its covalent character. Among the cation, Al+3 ion has a smaller size and greater charge. Hence it could polarise the chloride ion to a greater extent and so AlCl3 is covalent.

Question 28.
Lithium chloride is more covalent than sodium chloride. Explain why?
Answer:
The size of the Li+ ion is smaller than Na+ ion. Hence the polarizing power of Li+ ion is more, i.e., it polarizes the chloride ion more that of Na+ ion. Hence LiCl is covalent.

Question 29.
Lithium iodide is more covalent than Lithium chloride. Explain why?
Answer:
Lithium iodide is more covalent than lithium chloride as the size of I is larger than the Cl. Hence I will be more polarised than Cl by the cation, Li+.

Samacheer Kalvi TN State Board 11th Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding

Question 30.
CuCl is more covalent than NaCl. Explain why?
Answer:
Cu+ ion is smaller in size, compared to that of Na+ ion and has 3s2 3p6 3d10 configuration. According to Fajan’s rule, cations having ns2 np6 nd10 configuration exercise greater polarising power. Therefore Cu+ ion polarizes chloride ion to a greater thafi Na+ ion. Hence, CuCl is covalent while NaCl is ionic.

Question 42.
Explain the salient features of molecular orbital theory.
Answer:
(i) When atoms combines to form molecules, their individual atomic orbitals lose their identity and forms new orbitals called molecular orbitals.

(ii) The shapes of molecular orbitals depend upon the shapes of combining atomic orbitals.

(iii) The number of molecular orbitals formed is the same as the number of combining atomic orbitals. Half the number of molecular orbitals formed will have lower energy than the corresponding atomic orbital, while the remaining molecular orbitals will have higher energy.

The molecular orbital with lower energy is called bonding molecular orbital and the one with higher energy is called antibonding molecular orbital. The bonding molecular orbitals are represented as σ (Sigma), π (pi), δ (delta) and the corresponding antibonding orbitals are denoted as σ*, π* and δ*.

(iv) The electrons in a molecule are accommodated in the newly formed molecular orbitals. The filling of electrons in these orbitals follows Aufbau’s principle, Pauli’s exclusion principle and Hund’s rule as in the case of filling of electrons in atomic orbitals.

(v) Bond order gives the number of covalent bonds between the two combining atoms. The bond order of a molecule can be calculated using the following equation,

Bond order = \(\frac{\mathrm{N}_{b}-\mathrm{N}_{a}}{2}\)

Where Nb = Total number of electrons present in the bonding molecular orbitals.
Na = Total number of electrons present in the antibonding molecular orbitals and A bond order of zero value indicates that the molecule doesn’t exist.

Question 43.
Explain the formation of bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals in terms of linear combination of atomic orbitals.
Answer:
The wave function for molecular orbitals are obtained by linear combination of atomic orbitals.
(i) Two atomic orbitals represented by the wave function ψA and ψB with comparable energy, combines to form two molecular orbitals.

One is bonding molecular orbital(ψbonding) and the other is antibonding molecular orbital(ψantibonding). The wave functions for these two molecular orbitals can be obtained by the linear combination of the atomic orbitals ψA and ψB as below.

ψbonding = ψA + ψB
ψantibonding = ψA – ψB

(ii) The formation of bonding molecular orbital can be considered as the result of constructive interference of the atomic orbitals and the formation of antibonding molecular orbital can be the result of the destructive interference of the atomic orbitals.

Bonding molecular orbitals have lower energy compared to that of the atomic orbitals and antibonding molecular orbitals have higher energy compared to the atomic orbitals, node

Question 47.
Give a brief account of metallic bonding.
Answer:
The force that keeps the atoms of the metal in a metallic crystal is known as metallic bond.

According to the theory of Drude and Lorentz, metallic bond is due to the positive charged metal ions and the free electrons produced by the ionisation of the metal atom. The free electrons are shared by all the ions in the crystal. These free electrons are uniformly distributed around the metal ions.

According to Molecular orbital theory the atomic orbitals of the metal combine to form molecular orbitals, which are-so close in energy to each other as to form a bond. The lowest lying empty bond is called conduction bond and the outer most filled bond is called valence bond.
(i) In metals, the energies of conduction bond and valence bond are close to each other, that there is no gap between them.

TN State Board 11th Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 70

Thus electrons pass easily from valence bond to conduction bond when a potential difference is applied. This is the reason why metals are good conductors of electricity.
(ii) Metals are also good conductors of heat. This is due to excitation of electrons from the valence bond to conduction bond on heating (thermal excitation).
