Hydrogen bond

A hydrogen bond is a type of intermolecular force that occurs between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine, and another electronegative atom. The hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the more electronegative atom, while the other atom has a partial…

Hybridisation involving s, p and d orbitals only

Hybridization is a concept in chemistry where atomic orbitals combine to form hybrid orbitals that have different shapes and energies from the original atomic orbitals. The most common types of hybridization involve s and p orbitals, but d orbitals can also be involved in certain cases. Hybridization involving only s, p, and d orbitals is…

Orbital overlap and Covalent bond

Orbital overlap is a concept in chemistry that refers to the interaction between two or more atomic orbitals when they come together to form a chemical bond. When atoms bond together, their atomic orbitals can interact in a way that allows them to share electrons and create a stable molecule. Covalent bonding is a type…
