hi, could anyone kind enough to tell me what are directional bonding and non-directional bonding? what are the difference between them?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Bonding between K and Cl is not directional, while bondings between
two atoms of sulphur or two molecules of water are directional, i.e. they
depend on the atom (molecule) orientation...
 
i got it... thanks.
 

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
