  2. Bond length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_length

    It is generally considered the average length for a carbon–carbon single bond, but is also the largest bond length that exists for ordinary carbon covalent bonds. Since one atomic unit of length (i.e., a Bohr radius) is 52.9177 pm, the C–C bond length is 2.91 atomic units, or approximately three Bohr radii long.

  3. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    Molecular geometry. Geometry of the water molecule with values for O-H bond length and for H-O-H bond angle between two bonds. Molecular geometry is the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms that constitute a molecule. It includes the general shape of the molecule as well as bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other ...

  4. Carbon–carbon bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–carbon_bond

    A carbon–carbon bond is a covalent bond between two carbon atoms. [1] The most common form is the single bond: a bond composed of two electrons, one from each of the two atoms. The carbon–carbon single bond is a sigma bond and is formed between one hybridized orbital from each of the carbon atoms. In ethane, the orbitals are sp 3 ...

  5. Atomic spacing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spacing

    In solid materials, the atomic spacing is described by the bond lengths of its atoms. In ordered solids, the atomic spacing between two bonded atoms is generally around a few ångströms (Å), which is on the order of 10 −10 meters (see Lattice constant). However, in very low density gases (for example, in outer space) the average distance ...

  6. Bond order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_order

    In molecular orbital theory, bond order is defined as half the difference between the number of bonding electrons and the number of antibonding electrons as per the equation below. [4][5] This often but not always yields similar results for bonds near their equilibrium lengths, but it does not work for stretched bonds. [6] Bond order is also an ...

  7. Angstrom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom

    Imperial units. 3.937008 × 10 −9 in. Planck units. 6.187 × 1024 lP. The angstrom[1][2][3][4] (/ ˈæŋstrəm /; [3][5][6] ANG-strəm[5]) is a unit of length equal to 10−10 m; that is, one ten- billionth of a metre, a hundred-millionth of a centimetre, [7] 0.1 nanometre, or 100 picometres. The unit is named after the Swedish physicist ...

  8. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres (⁠ 1 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.

  9. Bond valence method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_valence_method

    Starting with Pauling in 1947 [12] a correlation between cation–anion bond length and bond strength was noted. It was shown later [13] that if bond lengths were included in the calculation of bond strength, its accuracy was improved, and this revised method of calculation was termed the bond valence. These new insights were developed by later ...
