Sp3 Hybridization: Geometry and Bond angles (with Examples)
Hybridization is the process of intermixing atomic orbitals in such a way as to form a new hybridized orbital. In simple words, hybridization is the [...]
Hydrogen Bond: Types, Strength, Effects & Examples
A hydrogen bond is an intermolecular force of attraction between two molecules. It is weaker than covalent and ionic bonds. However, stronger than van der [...]
Bond Energy
Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break all bonds of a particular type in one mole of the given substance. [...]
Pauling Scale: How to Use it to Calculate Electronegativity?
Electronegativity is an atom's tendency to attract a shared pair of electrons in a bond. In 1955, an American scientist Linus Pauling, who was awarded [...]
London Dispersion Forces| The Weakest Ones
London dispersion forces are weak intermolecular forces between non-polar molecules, commonly known as instantaneous dipoles-induced dipoles. These forces are named after the German physicist, Fritz [...]
Electronegativity | Trends, Scales & Applications
Electronegativity is defined as the relative tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the bonded pair of electrons towards itself. For the electronegativity [...]
Talc: Explanation, Structure, Formation, Uses
Talc is an alternative name for talcum, an industrial mineral of magnesium trisilicates with a chemical formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. It is pure in composition (oxygen, silicon, [...]
Bond Length: Explanation and Factors
Bond length is defined as the distance between two nuclei of atoms in a covalent bond. It can also be defined as the internuclear distance [...]
Molecular Geometry: A Complete Overview
Molecular geometry can be defined as the arrangement of atoms of molecules in a 3-dimensional space. This gives a proper shape to molecules. There are [...]
Intermolecular forces: Types, Explanation, Examples
'Inter' means 'between' as happening between two things, showing that the term 'intermolecular forces' refers to the electrostatic forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules. [...]
