29. An ionic compound has 3-D crystal lattice in which positive and negative charges are equal. The crystal lattice is stabilised by
enthalpy of lattice formation, bond length, bond angle, bond enthalpy, bond order and bond polarity have significant effect
on properties of compounds. All the properties of certain compounds cannot be explained by single structure, more than one
structure of a compound to explain its property are called resonating structures.
Dipole moment depends upon polarity and shapes of molecules. Shapes of molecules can be determined by VSEPR theory as
well as hybridisation sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, sp3d2 are linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral
geometry respectively. Hydrogen bond is formed between hydrogen and F, O, N. Intra-molecular H-bonding is within the
molecules which is weaker than inter molecular H-bonding, between the molecules.

(OR)
Why is bond angle in H2 O is more than H2 S?
30. The rotation of carbon-carbon single bond (s-bond), due to cylindrical symmetry of s-MOs (molecular orbitals) long
internuclear axis, in alkanes results into different spatial arrangements of atoms in space, that are interconvertible. These
arrangements are called conformations.
However, weak repulsive interaction are present between the adjacent bonds in alkanes so the rotation of C—C single bond
is not completely free and is hindered by a small energy barriers of 1-20 kJ mol-1. The repulsive interaction between the
adjacent bond is due to electron cloud. The two types of conformations are very common, i.e., staggered and eclipsed.
The conformation in which the hydrogen atoms attached to the two carbon atoms are as far apart as possible is called the
staggered conformation. The conformations in which the hydrogen atoms attached to the two carbon atoms are as closed
as possible is called eclipsed conformation. Any intermediate conformation between the above two is called skew or
gauche conformation
i)The electronic distribution of the sigma molecular orbital is symmetrical around the internuclear axis of C-C bond which
permits free rotation around C-C bond. Such spatial arrangements of atoms in which conversion of one another takes place
by rotation around C-C bond is known as
