Hello Shanu,

The important topics in Chemical bonding are:

For JEE Main:

  • Kossel - Lewis approach to chemical bond formation, concept of ionic and covalent bonds.
  • Ionic Bonding: Formation of ionic bonds, factors affecting the formation of ionic bonds; calculation of lattice enthalpy.
  • Covalent Bonding: Concept of electronegativity, Fajan's rule, dipole moment; Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory and shapes of simple molecules.
  • Quantum mechanical approach to covalent bonding:
  • Valence bond theory - Its important features, concept of hybridization involving s, p and d orbitals; Resonance.
  • Molecular Orbital Theory - Its important features, LCAOs, types of molecular orbitals (bonding, antibonding), sigma and pi-bonds, molecular orbital electronic configurations of homonuclear diatomic molecules, concept of bond order, bond length and bond energy.
  • Elementary idea of metallic bonding. Hydrogen bonding and its applications.

For JEE Advanced (Chemical Bonding and Atomic Structure):

  • Bohr model, spectrum of hydrogen atom, quantum numbers;
  • Wave-particle duality,de Broglie hypothesis;
  • Uncertainty principle;
  • Qualitative quantum mechanical picture of hydrogen atom, shapes of s, p and d orbitals;
  • Electronic configurations of elements (up to atomic number 36);
  • Aufbau principle;
  • Pauli’s exclusion principle and Hund’s rule;
  • Orbital overlap and covalent bond;
  • Hybridisation involving s, p and d orbitals only;
  • Orbital energy diagrams for homonuclear diatomic species;
  • Hydrogen bond; Polarity in molecules, dipole moment (qualitative aspects only);
  • VSEPR model and shapes of molecules (linear, angular, triangular, square planar, pyramidal, square pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal, tetrahedral and octahedral).

All the best!!
