Bond Parameters
Many factors decide the covalent bonding between atoms. Some of the bond parameters are bond angle, bond order, enthalpy, bond length, etc. These parameters decide what kind of bond will form in atoms. Hence it is crucial to understand these parameters i…
Bond Dissociation Energy
The tendency of an atom to attract an electron is known as its electronegativity.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The key term corresponding to the definition “the geometric shape formed by atoms bonded to the central atom in a molecule” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Atoms in a molecule or a compound try to complete their octets by either gaining or losing electrons or by sharing electrons. Covalent compounds are those compounds that are formed by sharing electrons between atoms. Ionic compounds are those in which the atoms lose or gain an electron from the other atom present in the compound.
