What is meant by Covalent Bonds are directional?
Asked by JAYANTA | 01 Apr, 2013, 10:11: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Covalent bonds are directional, means that atoms so bonded prefer specific orientations relative to one another since the electron pairs forming the bonds repel other electron pairs so the molecules orient themselves in a way to minimise these repulsions; this in turn gives molecules definite shapes, as in the angular (bent) structure of the H2O molecule.
