(Textbook: Essentials of Physical Chemistry. By: B.S. Bahl, G.D.Tuli)

CHAPTER: 05

1. Discuss / explain / mention the conditions which are necessary for the formation
of an ionic bond / a covalent bond / a hydrogen bond.

2. What are the conditions for the formation of an ionic bond/ a covalent bond / a
hydrogen bond?

3. Mention the factors governing the formation of ionic bond.

4. How ionic bond/covalent bond/co-ordinate bond/ hydrogen bond is formed?
5. What are the characteristics/properties of an ionic bond?

6. Explain/justify the following statements-

i) Ionic compounds are soluble in water. Or, How NaCl is solvated in water?
ii) Ionic compounds exist as crystal.
iii) Ionic compounds are solid at room temperature.
iv) Ionic compounds are hard and brittle.
v) Hydrogen-bond compounds have abnormally high boiling and melting points.

7. Give a comparative study for Ionic, covalent and co-ordinate bond.

8. What are the characteristics/properties of an ionic bond / a covalent compound?

9. Show co-ordinate bond in ( Al2Cl6 , SO4 2- )

10. Show covalent bond in (Cl2,H2O,NH3,CH4,O2,N2,CO2)

11. Why small size of electronegative atom is essential for effective hydrogen bond?

12. Why hydrogen bond is effective in NH3 in comparison to that in HCl?

13. Why high electronegative atom is essential for effective hydrogen bond?

14. Classify hydrogen bonding with examples.
