Valence Bond Theory
Chapter Name : Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure
Sub Topic Code : 102_11_04_06_05
Topic Name : Valence Bond Theory
Sub Topic Name : Types Of Overlapping And Nature Of Covalent Bonds
Introduction

• There are two types of covalent bonds: sigma and pi bond. • Sigma bond is of three types : ss overlap, sp overlap and pp overlap. • Pi bond are formed by the overlap of pp overlap but in a different orientation.

Pre-Requisites:

Covalent bond, molecule , orbital

Activity:

Overlapping orbitals are like tomato slices kept in such a way that they overlap.

Real Life Question:

How do covalent bonds form?

Key Words / FlashCards
Key Words Definitions (pref. in our own words)
Covalent bond Covalent bonds form when there is sharing of electrons between two atoms.
Learning aids / Gadgets
Gadgets How it can be used
Ball, dumbbell A ball is similar to an s orbital and a dumb bell is like p orbital of atoms.
Real life uses :

Type of molecular structure and molecule formed depends on the type of covalent bonding.

Places to visit :

Kitchen, gym, playground

Practical examples around us
Examples Explainations
Dumbbell, slices of tomato Dumbbell is like the shape of a p orbital and like slices of tomato kept over each other, orbitals overlap in the same way making a bond.
What you learn in Theory:

Covalent bonds are of two types depending on the type of overlapping orbitals and their arrangement.

What you learn in Practice:

Type of covalent bond forms depending on the degree and type of overlapping orbitals.
