Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions

Bond Order = ½ (Nb - Na)
Dipole Moment: μ = q · d (Debye)
Formal Charge = V - N - ½B

VSEPR Geometry & Repulsion Order

Lone Pair-Lone Pair > Lone Pair-Bond Pair > Bond Pair-Bond Pair. CH₄ (tetrahedral 109.5°), NH₃ (pyramidal 107°), H₂O (bent 104.5°).

Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT)

Atomic orbitals combine to form bonding (lower energy) and antibonding (higher energy) MOs. Unpaired electrons indicate paramagnetism (e.g. O₂).

Exam Day Revision & Problem Solving Checklist

  • ✓Calculate hybridization using Steric Number = (σ bonds + lone pairs on central atom)
  • ✓Bond order > 0 implies stable molecule; higher bond order = shorter bond length
  • ✓Review Formula Cheat Sheet & Solved Numericals before tackling multi-step practice questions

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation

Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.

Common Calculation Traps

Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
