Why do atoms combine? Why are only certain combinations possible? Why do molecules possess definite shapes? To answer such questions different theories and concepts have been put forward from time to time. In this fourth unit of class 11 chemistry, we can answer the above questions by learning Kössel-Lewis approach, Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory, Valence Bond (VB) Theory and Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory.

Electron pairs shared between atoms of equal or very similar electronegativity constitute a nonpolar covalent bond (e.g., H–H or C–H), while electrons shared between atoms of unequal electronegativity constitute a polar covalent bond (e.g., H–O).
