Do you know about the "Hydrogen Bonding" !!!!


Hello Students,

Do you know about the "Hydrogen Bonding" !!!!

The very large difference in electronegativity between the H atom and the atom to which it is bonded combined with the very small size of a H atom and the relatively small sizes of F, O, or N atoms, leads to highly concentrated partial charges with these atoms.




Molecules with F-H, O-H, or N-H moieties are very strongly attracted to similar moieties in nearby molecules, a particularly strong type of dipole-dipole attraction called hydrogen bonding. Examples of hydrogen bonds include HF…HF, H2O…HOH, and H3N…HNH2, in which the hydrogen bonds are denoted by dots.

Hydrogen bonds are much weaker than covalent bonds, only about 5 to 10% as strong, but are generally much stronger than other dipole-dipole attractions and dispersion forces.



For example :

consider the trends in boiling points for the binary hydrides of group 15 (NH3, PH3, AsH3, and SbH3), group 16 hydrides (H2O, H2S, H2Se, and H2Te), and group 17 hydrides (HF, HCl, HBr, and HI).

What is centripetal Force, you know !!!!

Let's discuss --- According to Newton's first law of motion, whenever a body moves in a straight line with uniform velocity, no force is required to maintain this velocity. But when a body moves along a circular path with uniform speed, its direction changes continuously i.e. velocity keeps on changing on account of a change in direction.   According to Newton's second law of motion, a change in the direction of motion of the body can take place only if some external force acts on the body. Due to inertia, at every point of the circular path; the body tends to move along the tangent to the circular path at that point (in figure). Since everybody has directional inertia, a velocity cannot change by itself and as such we have to apply a force. But this force should be such that it changes the direction of velocity and not its magnitude. This is possible only if the force acts perpendicular to the direction of velocity. Because the velocity is along the tangent, this for...

Do you know about the Quantum Theory of Electrons in Atoms !!!!

Do you k now a bout the Quantum Theory of Electrons in Atoms !!!! See,  The energy levels are labeled with an n value, where n = 1, 2, 3,…  So, generally speaking, the energy of an electron in atom is greater for greater values of n . This number, n , is referred to as the principle quantum number.   The principle quantum number defines the location of the energy level. It is essentially the same concept as the n in the Bohr atom description. Another name for the principal quantum number is the shell number. The shells of an atom can be thought of concentric circles radiating out from the nucleus. The electrons that belong to a specific shell are most likely to be found within the corresponding circular area. The further we proceed from the nucleus, the higher the shell number, and so the higher the energy level. The positively charged protons in the nucleus stabilize the electronic orbitals by electrostatic attraction between the positive charges of the protons a...
