Both CO2 and N2O are linear but dipole moment of CO2 is zero but for N2O it is non-zero, why?

The answer lies in the structure of these molecules, CO2 is symmetrical molecule while N2O is unsymmetrical, thus for N2O, dipoles do not cancel each other, leaving the molecule with a resultant dipole, while the bond moment of CO2 cancel each other, so CO2 has no net dipole moment.

(1) What is the difference between the structure of AlCl3 and diborane?

What is structure of Al2Cl6 and also explain bridge bond in Al2Cl6?

AlCl3 dimmerised to Al2Cl6 by 3C-4e bond bridge bond and Al2Cl6 is neither hypovalent nor hypovalent rather its octet is complete. Al2Cl6 contains six bond having two bridge bond(3c-4e) and four bond is (2C-2e).

We will used  MOT here  it cannot act as Lewis acid  due to crowding in spite having vacant d orbital’s however AlCl3 act as Lewis acid.

Wave mechanical concept of chemical bonding:

There are two important  theories which help the nature  of covalent bond on the basis of quantum mechanics:

(1) Valence bond theory (VBT)       (2) Molecular orbital theory (MOT)

(1) Valence bond theory (VBT):

(1) The valence bond theory given by Heitler and London to explain how to covalent bond form. And it is  extented by Pauling and Slater. 

(2) the main point of valence bond theory are given as:

(A) The covalent bond formed by overlapping of half filled orbitals of valence shell.

(B)The covalent bond requires a pair of electrons with opposite spins.

(C) The Atomic orbitals come closer to each other from the direction in which there is maximum overlapping, hence covalent has directional in nature.

(D)  The strength of covalent bond is directly proportional to extent of overlapping.

(E) The extent of overlapping depends on two factors like nature of orbitals and nature of overlapping

(1) S-orbital is non directional- less overlapping extent while p,d,f are directional orbitals hence more overlapping extent.

(2) Co-axial overlapping – extent of overlapping is more while in collateral overlapping – extent of overlapping  is less. The order of strength of co-axial overlapping is : P-P > S-P > S-S

(3) As the value of principle  quantum number(n) increases the strength decreases: 1-1 > 1-2 > 2-2 > 2-3 > 3-3

(4) If the value of value of principle  quantum number(n) is same then bond strength order follow as:

                         2p-2p > 2s-2p >2s-2s

                         1s-2p > 2s-2p > 3s-3p

(5) The electron which is already paired in valency shell can enter into bond formation, it they can be unpaired  first and shift to vacant orbitals of slightly higher energy of same energy shell, this point can explain the trivalency of boron, tetravalency of carbon, penta-valency of phosphorous etc.

(6) There are  two type of covalent bonds on basis of way of overlapping.

(A) Sigma bond  (B)   Pi bond

What is Sigma Bond ?

Consider Al2(OH)6 compound and calculate the value of (X+Y)/Z Where X= total number of two centre-two electrons (2C-2e) bond, Y= total number of three centre-two electron(3C-2e)bonds, and Z=total number of three centre-four electron (3C-4e) bond;

 

Total number of two centre-two electrons (2C-2e) bonds(X)=6

Total number of three centre-two electron(3C-2e) bonds(Y)=4

Total number of three centre-four electron (3C-4e) bond(Z)=2
