Network covalent bonding. A network solid or covalent network solid (also called atomic crystalline solids or giant covalent structures) [1][2] is a chemical compound (or element) in which the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds in a continuous network extending throughout the material. In a network solid there are no individual molecules, and ...
A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding. [1] For many molecules, the sharing of ...
Coordinate covalent bond. In coordination chemistry, a coordinate covalent bond, [1] also known as a dative bond, [2] dipolar bond, [1] or coordinate bond[3] is a kind of two-center, two-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. The bonding of metal ions to ligands involves this kind of interaction. [4]
Dynamic covalent chemistry (DCvC) is a synthetic strategy employed by chemists to make complex molecular and supramolecular assemblies from discrete molecular building blocks. [1] DCvC has allowed access to complex assemblies such as covalent organic frameworks , molecular knots , polymers , and novel macrocycles . [ 2 ]
The covalent bonds in this material form extended structures, but do not form a continuous network. With cross-linking, however, polymer networks can become continuous, and a series of materials spans the range from Cross-linked polyethylene , to rigid thermosetting resins, to hydrogen-rich amorphous solids, to vitreous carbon, diamond-like ...
Dichlorine heptoxide is a covalent compound consisting of two ClO 3 portions linked by an oxygen atom. It has an overall bent molecular geometry (C 2 symmetry ), with a Cl−O−Cl angle of 118.6°. The chlorine–oxygen bond lengths are 1.709 Å in the central region and 1.405 Å within each ClO 3 cluster. [ 1 ]
A macromolecule is a very large molecule important to biological processes, such as a protein or nucleic acid. It is composed of thousands of covalently bonded atoms. Many macromolecules are polymers of smaller molecules called monomers. The most common macromolecules in biochemistry are biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates ...
Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) are a type of polymer material that closely resemble thermosetting polymers (thermosets). However, they are distinguished from thermosets by the incorporation of dynamic covalent chemistry into the polymer network. When a stimulus (for example heat, light, pH, ...) is applied to the material, these dynamic ...
