Covalent molecules formed by heteroatoms bound to have some ionic character. The ionic character is due to shifting of the electron pair towards A or B in the molecule AB. Hence, atoms acquire small and equal charge but opposite in sign. Such a bond which has some ionic character is described as polar covalent bond. Polar covalent molecules can exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is eual to the product of charge separation, q and the bond length, d for the bond. The unit of dipole moment is Debye. One Debye is equal to 1018 esu cm. Dipole moment is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of molecules depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moments help to predict the geometry of the molecules. Dipole moment values can be used to distinguish between cis-and transisomers; ortho-, meta- and para-forms of a substance, etc. The percentage of ionic character of a bond can be calculated by the application of the following formula :
% ionic character = Experimental value of dipole moment 100 Theoretical value of dipole moment

The dipole moment of NF3 is very much less than that of NH3 because : 1) number of lone pairs in NF3 is much greater than in NH3 2) unshared electron pair is not present in NF3 as in NH3 3) both have different shapes 4) of different directrions of moments of N H and N F bonds Passage - II: Ionic compounds are soluble in water. They divided into ions in water and they are hydrated with water molecules. In solid state ionic compounds exhibit different crystal lattice structures like BCC, FCC, HCB etc. In these structures each cation surrounds with some anions and viceverse.

What is the geometry around the carbon atom a) Trigonal pyramidal b) Triangular planar c) T-shape 537. What is the geometry around the N-atom? a) Trigonal pyramidal b) Triangular planar c) T-shape
Passage - I: The shapes of molecules can be predicted by VSEPR theory, hybridization and dipole moment. There is a high degree of correlation between hybridization and shapes of molecules or the inter orbital bond angles. If any depature in geometry of a molecule is observed on the basis of VSEPR theory then an apparent depature is observed in hybridisation. The types of hybridisation associated with various shapes are sp-linear; sp2-trigonal; sp3-tetrahedral. In case of the departure observed the most easy way is following relationship. For s.p hybridisation we have sp i hybrid is characterised by fs = f 1 i or f p = and i = p i +1 i +1 fs

d) irregular tetrahedral d) irregular tetrahedral d) irregular tetrahedral

(in case of sp3, the value of i = 3 and for sp2 it is 2) also for any orbital, f s + f p = 1 and all s, p hybrids of a given atom f s = 1.00 must be satisfied. For finding the inter-orbital angle between two equivalent (same fs and same fp) hybrid orbitals use the relation
-1 i To predict the geometrical shape of species containing only one central atom use the following method. cos q =

(i) Total number of electron pairs =

(number of valence electrons ) (total ch arg e)

2

(ii) Number of bond electrons = (number of atom 1) (iii) Number of electron pairs around central atom = [total number of electron pairs 3 (number of terminal atoms except hydrogen)] iv) Number of lone pairs = [(number of central electron pairs) (number of bond pairs)]

Lewis concept of covalency of an element involved octet rule. Later on it was found that may elements in their compounds e.g. BeF2, BF3 etc. have incomplete octet whereas PCl5, SF6 etc. have expanded octet. This classical concept also failed in predicting the geometry of molecules. Modern concept of covalence was proposed in terms of valence bond theory. Hybridization concept along with V.B. Theory successfully explained the geometry of various molecules but failed in many molecules. The geometry of such molecules was explained by VSEPR concept. Finally molecular orbital theory was proposed to explain many other molecules 541. Which are true statements among the following?
