Question 1.
List the factors that determine the type of bond that will be formed between two atoms. (AS1)
(OR)
How can you identify the type of bond formation between two atoms?
Answer:

  • The strength of attraction or repulsion between atoms.
  • Electrons in valence shell (valence electrons).

Question 2.
Explain the difference between the valence electrons and the covalency of an element. (AS1)
(OR)
How are valence electrons different from the covalency of element? Explain with examples.
Answer:
Valence electrons :

  • Number of electrons in the outermost orbit or an atom is called its valence electrons.
  • Ex: Na (Z = 11). It has 2e in I orbit, 8e in II orbit and 1e in III orbit.
  • So number of valence electrons in Na atom are ‘l’.

Covalency of an element:

  • Number of valance electrons which are taking part in covalent bond is called covalency.
  • The electron configuration of Boran is 1s² 2s² 2p¹.
  • It has three valance electrons.
  • So its covalency is 3.

Question 4.
Why do only valence electrons involve in bond formation? Why not electron of inner shells? Explain. (AS1)
(OR)
Which shell electrons involve in bond formation? Explain. What is the reason behind it?
Answer:

  • The nucleus and the electrons in the inner shell remain unaffected when atoms come close together.
  • But the electrons in the outermost shell (valence shell) of atoms get affected.
  • The inner shell electrons are strongly attracted by the nucleus when compared to the valence electrons.
  • So electrons in valence shell (valence electrons) are responsible for the formation of bond between atoms.

Question 5.
Explain the formation of sodium chloride and calcium oxide on the basis of the concept of electron transfer from one atom to another atom. (AS1)
(OR)
Explain the formation of any two compounds according to Kossel’s theory.
Answer:
I. Formation of sodium chloride (NaCl) :
1) Sodium chloride is formed from the elements sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

2) Cation formation:
i) When sodium (Na) atom loses one electron to get octet electron configuration, it forms a cation (Na+).
ii) Now Na+ gets electron configuration that of Neon (Ne) atom.
AP SSC 10th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 1

3) Anion Formation :
i) Chlorine has shortage of one electron to get octet in its valence shell.
ii) So it gains the electron that was lost by Na to form anion and gets electron configuration of Argon (Ar).
AP SSC 10th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 2

4) Formation of NaCl :
i) Transfer of electrons between ‘Na’ and ‘Cl’ atoms, results in the formation of ‘Na+‘ and ‘Cl’ ions.
ii) These oppositely charged ions get attracted towards each other due to electrostatic forces and form the compound sodium chloride (NaCl).
Na+(g) + Cl(g) → Na+Cl(s) or NaCl

II. Formation of calcium oxide (CaO) :
1. Calcium (Ca) reacts with oxygen (0) to form an ionic compound calcium oxide (CaO).

2. Atomic number of Calcium is 20. Its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2.

Question 6.
A, B and C are three elements with atomic number 6, 11 and 17 respectively.
i) Which of these cannot form ionic bond? Why? (AS1)
ii) Which of these cannot form covalent bond? Why? (AS1)
iii) Which of these can form ionic as well as covalent bonds? (AS1)
Answer:
i) ‘A’ cannot form ionic bond. Its valence electrons are 4. It is difficult to lose or gain 4e to get octet configuration. So it forms covalent bond [Z of A is 6 so it is carbon (C)].

ii) ‘B’ cannot form covalent bond. Its valence electrons are 1 only. So it is easy to donate for other atom and become an ion. So it can form ionic bond [Z of B is 11, so it is sodium (Na)].

iii) Element C can form ionic as well as covalent bonds. Atomic number of Cl is 17. It is able to participate with Na in ionic bond and with hydrogen in HCl molecule as covalent bond.

Question 7.
How do bond energies and bond lengths of molecule help us in predicting their chemical properties? Explain with examples. (AS1)
(OR)
How can you explain with examples that bond energies and bond lengths are used to recognise chemical properties?
Answer:
1. Bond length :
Bond length or bond distance is the equilibrium distance between the nuclei of two atoms which form a covalent bond.

2. Bond energy :
Bond energy or bond dissociation energy is the energy needed to break a covalent bond between two atoms of a diatomic covalent compound in its gaseous state.

3. If the nature of the bond between the same two atoms changes the bond length also changes. For example, the bond lengths between two carbon atoms are C – C > C = C > C = C.

4. Thus the various bond lengths between the two carbon atoms are in ethane 1.54 Å, ethylene 1.34 Å, acetylene 1.20 Å.

5. The bond lengths between two oxygen atoms are in H2O2 (O – O) is 1.48 Å and in O2 (O = O) is 1.21 Å.
6. Observe the table.
AP SSC 10th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 6

7. When bond length decreases, then bond dissociation energy increases.

8. When bond length increases, then bond dissociation energy decreases.

9. Bond length of H – H in H2 molecule is 0.74 Å and its bond dissociation energy is 436 KJ/mol, whereas bond length of F – F in F2 molecule is 1.44 Å and its bond dissociation energy is 159 KJ/mol.

10. Melting and boiling points of substances also can be determined by this bond energies and bond lengths.

Question 8.
Predict the reasons for low melting point for covalent compounds when compared with ionic compounds. (AS2)
(OR)
“Covalent compounds have low melting point.” What Is the reason for this statement? Explain.
Answer:
They are covalent compounds.

  • The melting point is low due to the weak Vander Waal’s forces of attractions between the covalent molecules.
  • The force of attraction between the molecules of a covalent compound is very weak.
  • Only a small amount of heat energy is required to break these weak molecular forces, due to which covalent compounds have low melting points and low boiling points.
  • Please note that some of the covalent solids like diamond and graphite have, however very high melting points and boiling points.

Properties of covalent compounds :

  1. Covalent compounds are usually liquids or gases, only some of them are solids.
  2. The covalent compounds are usually liquids or gases due to the weak force of attraction between their molecules.
  3. Covalent compounds have usually low melting and low boiling points.
  4. Covalent compounds are usually in soluble in water but they are soluble in organic solvents.

Question 15.
How does Lewis dot structure help in understanding bond formation between atoms? (AS6)
(OR)
What is the use of Lewis dot structure in bond formation? Explain.
Answer:

  1. Only the outermost electrons of an atom take part in chemical bonding.
  2. They are known as valence electrons.
  3. The valence electrons in an atom are represented by putting dots (•) on the symbol of the element, one dot for each valence electron.
  4. For example, sodium atom has 1 valence electron in its outermost shell, so we put 1 dot with the symbol of sodium and write Na• for it.
  5. Sodium atom loses this 1 electron to form sodium ion.
  6. By knowing the valence electrons of two different atoms by Lewis dot structure, we can understand which type of bond is going to establish between them and forms corresponding molecule.

Question 16.
What is octet rule? How do you appreciate role of the ‘octet rule’ in explaining the chemical properties of elements? (AS6)
(OR)
Which rule decides whether given element is chemically stable or not? Appreciate that rule.
Answer:
Octet rule decides whether given element is stable or not.
Octet rule :

  • ‘The atoms of elements tend to undergo chemical changes that help to leave their atoms with eight outer shell electrons.”
  • It was found that the elements which participate in chemical reaction get octet (or) ns2 np6 configuration similar to that of noble gas elements.

Role of octet in chemical properties of elements :

  1. Except He remaining inert gas elements have 8 electrons in their outermost orbit. Since these elements are having stable octet configuration in their outermost orbit, they are very stable.
  2. They do not allow the outermost electrons to take part in chemical reactions.
  3. So by having octet configuration for these elements we can conclude these are chemically inertial.
  4. If any group of elements (take halogens) which contain 7 electrons in their outermost orbit, they require only 1 e to get octet configuration.
  5. So they try to participate in chemical reaction to get that 1 difference electron for octet configuration.
  6. Similarly, Na contains 2, 8, 1 as its electronic configuration.
  7. So it loses le from its outermost shell; it should have 8e in its outer shell and get the octet configuration.
  8. Thus the octet rule helps in explaining the chemical properties of elements.

Formation of N2 molecule :

  1. Electronic configuration of Nitrogen is 1s² 2s² 2px¹ 2py¹ 2pz¹.
  2. Suppose that px orbital of one Nitrogen atom overlaps the px orbital of other ‘N’ atom giving σ px – px bond along the inter nuclear axis.
  3. The py and pz orbitals of one ‘N’ atom overlaps with the py and pz orbital of other ‘N’ atom laterally giving π py – py and π pz – pz bonds.
  4. Therefore, N2 molecule has a triple bond between two Nitrogen atoms.

AP SSC 10th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 19

Formation of O2 molecule :

  1. Electronic configuration of ‘O’ is 1s² 2s² 2px² 2py¹ 2pz¹.
  2. If the Py orbital of one ‘O’ atom overlaps the py orbital of other ‘O’ atom along inter- nuclear axis, a σ py – py bond is formed.
  3. pz orbital of oxygen atom overlaps laterally, perpendicular to inter nuclear axis giving a π py – pz bond.
  4. So O2 molecule has a double bond between the two oxygen atoms.

AP SSC 10th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 20

Question 18.
What is hybridisation? Explain the formation of the following molecules using hybridisation.
a) BeCl2
b) BF3
Explain the formation of sp and sp² hybridisation using examples.
(OR)
What is the name given to inter mixing of atomic orbitals to form new orbitals. Explain the formation of following molecules by using that process,
a) BeCl2
b) BF3
Answer:
This process is called hybridisation.
Hybridisation :
It is a phenomenon of inter mixing of atomic orbitals of almost equal energy which are present in the outer shells of the atom and their reshuffling or redistribution into the same number of orbitals but with equal properties like energy and shape.

a) Formation of BeCl2 (Beryllium chloride) molecule :

  1. 4Be has electronic configuration 1s² 2s².
  2. It has no unpaired electrons.
  3. It is expected not to form covalent bonds, but informs two covalent bonds one each with two chlorine atoms. „
  4. To explain this, an excited state is suggested for Beryllium in which an electron from ‘2s’ shifts to 2px level.
  5. Electronic configuration of 4Be is 1s² 2s¹ 2px¹].
  6. Electronic configuration of 17Cl is 1s² 2s² 2p6 3s² 3px² 3py² 3pz¹.
  7. If Be forms two covalent bonds with two chlorine atoms, one bond should be σ 2s-3p due to the overlap of ‘2s’ orbital of Be, the ‘3pz‘ orbital of one chlorine atom.
  8. The other bond should be σ 2p-3p due to the overlap of ‘2px’ orbital of Be atom the 3p orbital of the other chlorine atom.
  9. As the orbitals overlapping are different, the bond strengths of two Be-Cl must be different.
  10. But, both bonds are of same strength and Cl\(\hat{\mathrm{Be}}\) Cl is 180°.

The Hybridisation of BeCl2 can be explained in this way also :
a) Be atom in its excited state allows its 2s orbital and 2px orbital which contain unpaired electrons to intermix and redistribute to two identical orbitals.
b) As per Hund’s rule each orbital gets one electron.
c) The new orbitals based on the types of orbitals that have undergone hybridisation are called sp orbitals.
d) The two sp orbitals of Be get separated by 180°.
e) Now each chlorine atom comes with its 3pz¹ orbital and overlaps it the sp orbitals of Be forming two identical Be-Cl bonds (σ sp-p bonds).
Cl\(\hat{\mathrm{Be}}\) Cl = 180°.
AP SSC 10th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 21
f) Both the bonds are of same strength.

b) Formation of BF3 molecule :
AP SSC 10th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 10 Chemical Bonding 22

  1. 5B has electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2pxh
  2. The excited electronic configuration of 5B is 1s² 2s¹ 2px¹ 2py¹
  3. As it forms three identical B-F bonds in BF3.
  4. It is suggested that excited ‘B’ atom undergoes hybridisation.
  5. There is an intermixing of 2s, 2px, 2py orbitals and their redistribution into three identical orbitals called sp² hybrid orbitals.
  6. For three sp² orbitals to get separated to have minimum repulsion the angle between any two orbitals is 120° at the central atom and each sp² orbital gets one election.
  7. Now three fluorine atoms overlap their 2pz orbitals containing unpaired electrons (F9 1s² 2s² 2px² 2py² 2pz¹) the three sp² orbitals of ‘B’ that contain unpaired electrons to form three σsp²-p bonds.
