Bonding - Coggle Diagram

- - - - During bonding, certain elements have a higher electronegativity, and hence the electron pair moves closer to the atom, making it slightly negative. This results in IMF (inter-molecular forces)
      - IMF
        
        Dipole-Dipole
        
        This is present in HCl. Since Cl is electronegative, it is slightly negative and H is slightly positive. Then, bonds are formed between these molecules.
        
        Hydrogen Bond
        
        This takes place in water. hydrogen is electropositive, leaving oxygen slightly negative. With a large amount of molecules, there is a hydrogen bond formed due to electrostatic attraction
        
        Van der Waals forces
        
        This is caused by fluctuating dipoles. Sometimes, electrons move, causing slight charges, which leads to Van der Waals forces. This is the only IMF in non-polar compounds
    - - When there are similar elements that bond, no atom has a higher electronegativity, hence there is no charge.
