– In this subject, we will discuss the Coordinate Bond: (Definition, Formation, Examples) Coordinate bond – In a normal covalent bond, each of the two bonded atoms contributes one electron to make the shared pair. – In some cases, a covalent bond is formed when both electrons are supplied entirely …

– In this subject, we will discuss the Covalent Bond (Definition, Examples, Types, Properties) Covalent Bond  – The electron transfer theory could not explain the bonding in molecules such as H2, O2, Cl2, etc., and in organic molecules, that had no ions. – It was G.N. Lewis who suggested that two …

– In this subject, we will discuss the Ionic Bond (Definition, Examples, Types, Properties) Ionic Bond   – This type of bond is established by the transfer of an electron from one atom to another. – Let us consider a general case when an atom (A) has one electron in …

– In this subject, we will discuss bond Breaking and Bond Making in Organic Compounds. Bond Breaking and Bond Making  – Having now learned how to write and identify some common kinds of organic reactions, we can turn to a discussion of reaction mechanisms. – A reaction mechanism is a …

– In this subject, we will discuss Types of Equilibrium Constants used in Analytical Chemistry. Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibrium constants – Many reactions used in analytical chemistry never result in the complete conversion of reactants to products. – Instead, they proceed to a state of chemical equilibrium in which the …

– In this subject, we will discuss the important Terms and Definitions of Chemical Bonding. Chemical Bond  – Molecules of chemical substances are made of two or more atoms joined together by some force, acting between them. – This force which results from the interaction between the various atoms that …

– In this subject, we will discuss the Chemical Composition of Aqueous Solution – Water is the most plentiful solvent on Earth, is easily purified, and is not toxic. – It is, therefore, widely used as a medium for chemical analyses. Classifying Solutions of Electrolytes  – Most of the solutes …
