Chemical Bonding — Class 11 Maharashtra HSC Chemistry revision notes
A 8-page visual revision sheet for Chemical Bonding, written for Class 11 Maharashtra HSC Chemistry. Formulas, diagrams and the traps that cost marks, laid out to be read the night before rather than the term before. Free, and it opens inside CapCompass.

What this Chemical Bonding sheet covers
Kossel-Lewis approach
Ionic bond: NaCl and CaCl2
Ionic bond vs covalent bond
Ionic
Covalent
Ionic solids and lattice enthalpy
Lattice enthalpy, some values
Covalent bond and Lewis structures
Formal charge
formal charge on an atom in a Lewis structure
CO, structure C≡O: formal charge on C
Limitations of the octet rule
VSEPR: predicting shape from repulsion
VSEPR shapes, by lone pair count
Valence bond theory
Hybridisation
Worked: BeCl2, why hybridise at all
Molecular orbital theory
Bond order from MO theory
bond order
H_2, config σ1s^2: 2 bonding, 0 antibonding
N_2, config through σ2p_z^2: 10 bonding, 4 antibonding
O_2, two electrons singly fill π^*: 10 bonding, 6 antibonding
F_2, config through π^*2p^4: 10 bonding, 8 antibonding
O2's paramagnetism
Bond parameters
bond length, H-Cl
bond angle, H-O-H
bond enthalpy of H_2 (dissociation energy, since H_2 is diatomic)
average O-H bond enthalpy in H_2O, from two unequal successive steps
Dipole moment
Fajans' rules: covalent character in an ionic bond
These notes are not a standalone PDF. CapCompass plans Chemistry chapter by chapter against your real exam dates and free hours, and when the plan reaches Chemical Bonding the sheet opens inside the study block itself — at the page covering the sub-topic that block is on, with the timer still running. Revision arrives at the moment the plan says revise, instead of having to be gone looking for.
