Sub Topic Name : Types Of Overlapping And Nature Of Covalent Bonds |
• 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.
Covalent bond, molecule , orbital
Overlapping orbitals are like tomato slices kept in such a way that they overlap.
How do covalent bonds form?
Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
---|---|
Covalent bond | Covalent bonds form when there is sharing of electrons between two atoms. |
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. |
Type of molecular structure and molecule formed depends on the type of covalent bonding.
Kitchen, gym, playground
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. |
Covalent bonds are of two types depending on the type of overlapping orbitals and their arrangement.
Type of covalent bond forms depending on the degree and type of overlapping orbitals.
