Abstract
Structurally there are many points of contrast between the oxides and sulphides of the non-metallic elements and their corresponding halides. This is often due to the 2-valence of oxygen and sulphur, which can lead to the formation of two covalent bonds by these elements. Thus oxygen may bond either to one other atom through a double bond [Fig. 3.1(a)] or to two other atoms through single bonds [Fig. 3.1(b)]. Situation (a) is apparently different from that in Fig. 3.1(c), where oxygen accepts a lone pair of electrons from a donor group M. Bonds to terminal oxygen atoms, however, generally possess some double bond character, whether of the (p-p)π or (p-d)π type, and in any case such formal distinctions can be unhelpful, and tend to disappear when a delocalized rather than a localized bond model is used. Bonding as in (b), in which oxygen is linked to two other atoms M, can lead to the formation of ring or chain structures.
