Metallic Bond Subject: Physics Metallic Bond Generally metallic bond is observed in metals. Metal atom prefers to have maximum number of atoms around it. As distance between atoms is more, so this type of structure has relatively vacant spaces.…
Vander Waals Bond Subject: Physics Vander Waals Bond A universal weak attractive force acts between nearby atoms. The mutual interaction by which this force of attraction is created is called Vander Waals mutual interaction and the force is called Vander…
Covalent Bond Subject: Physics During chemical interaction, of two atoms of the same element or different elements, if transfer of outer-shell electrons is not possible, then by sharing of electrons in pairs between the atoms a stable electronic bond…
Ionic Bond or Electrovalent bond Subject: Physics Ionic Bond While mixing a metal with a non-metal normally one or more electrons are donated by metal atom to non-metal atom. Consequently metal atom becomes positively charged ions and non-mental atom becomes negatively charged…
Inter Atomic Force in Gases Subject: Physics Inter Atomic Force in Gases Interatomic distance in gases is very large and interatomic force is very small compared to solids and liquids. So, in gaseous state molecules remain in a random state. Then molecules…
Bonding of Matter Subject: Physics Bonding of Matter Whatever we see around us, all of them are either elements or compounds. In materials there are innumerable numbers of molecules. Molecules are formed by one more atoms. The attractive force by…
Inter Molecular Attractive Subject: Physics Inter Molecular Attractive All materials are composed of very tiny particles called atoms and molecules. Within these atoms and molecules there exist different types of attraction. Due to mutual attraction between molecules of the same material…
Interatomic Force in Solids Subject: Physics Interatomic Force in Solids Solid body has fixed shape and volume. Due to strong attracting force particles remain very close to each other. Inter atomic attraction of solids is maximum and distance is minimum. By…
Inter Atomic Force in Liquids Subject: Physics Inter Atomic Force in Liquids In liquid state, inter-atomic force between particles constituting the material is relatively small. For this, the particles do not remain solidly bond. But they remain close to each other in…
Hydrogen Bonding: Description in terms of Inter-molecular Forces Subject: Chemistry Hydrogen bonding Strong forces of attraction exist between molecules containing a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative element such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. This can be deduced by comparing the boiling point of…
