  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also

  3. Carbon–hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–hydrogen_bond

    Because of this small difference in electronegativities, the C−H bond is generally regarded as being non-polar. In structural formulas of molecules, the hydrogen atoms are often omitted. Compound classes consisting solely of C−H bonds and C−C bonds are alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons.

  4. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    In general, the hydroxyl group makes alcohols polar. Those groups can form hydrogen bonds to one another and to most other compounds. Owing to the presence of the polar OH alcohols are more water-soluble than simple hydrocarbons. Methanol, ethanol, and propanol are miscible in water. 1-Butanol, with a four-carbon chain, is moderately soluble.

  5. Cobalt(II) hydride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt(II)_hydride

    Cobalt(II) hydride is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula CoH 2.It has dark grey crystals. It oxidizes slowly in air and reacts with water. [1] [2]Two forms of cobalt(II) hydride exist under high pressure.

  6. Biphenyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biphenyl

    Biphenyl (also known as diphenyl, phenylbenzene, 1,1′-biphenyl, lemonene [4] or BP) is an organic compound that forms colorless crystals. Particularly in older literature, compounds containing the functional group consisting of biphenyl less one hydrogen (the site at which it is attached) may use the prefixes xenyl or diphenylyl.

  7. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    In terms of Lewis structures, formal charge is used in the description, comparison, and assessment of likely topological and resonance structures [7] by determining the apparent electronic charge of each atom within, based upon its electron dot structure, assuming exclusive covalency or non-polar bonding.

  8. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    For repeating units of polymers, functional groups attach to their nonpolar core of carbon atoms and thus add chemical character to carbon chains. Functional groups can also be charged, e.g. in carboxylate salts (−COO −), which turns the molecule into a polyatomic ion or a complex ion.

  9. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    Two atoms with equal electronegativity will make nonpolar covalent bonds such as H–H. An unequal relationship creates a polar covalent bond such as with H−Cl. However polarity also requires geometric asymmetry, or else dipoles may cancel out, resulting in a non-polar molecule. [8]
