  2. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    Lewis Structure of H 2 O indicating bond angle and bond length. Water (H 2 O) is a simple triatomic bent molecule with C 2v molecular symmetry and bond angle of 104.5° between the central oxygen atom and the hydrogen atoms.

  3. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    In (a) the two nuclei are surrounded by a cloud of two electrons in the bonding orbital that holds the molecule together. (b) shows hydrogen's antibonding orbital, which is higher in energy and is normally not occupied by any electrons. A chemical bond is the association of atoms or ions to form molecules, crystals, and other

  4. Lewis structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_structure

    Count valence electrons. Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons; each oxygen has 6, for a total of (6 × 2) + 5 = 17. The ion has a charge of −1, which indicates an extra electron, so the total number of electrons is 18. Connect the atoms by single bonds. Each oxygen must be bonded to the nitrogen, which uses four electrons—two in each bond.

  5. Hydration number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_number

    One such approach counts the number of water molecules bound to the compound more strongly (by 13.3 kcal/mol or more) than they are bound to other water molecules. [3] Hydration number estimates are not limited to integer values (for instance, estimates for sodium include 4, 4.6, 5.3, 5.5, 5.6, 6, 6.5, and 8), with some of the spread of ...

  6. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    The bond length is defined to be the average distance between the nuclei of two atoms bonded together in any given molecule. A bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. For four atoms bonded together in a chain, the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane ...

  7. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are connected to one another. [1]

  8. Molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecule

    AFM image of 1,5,9-trioxo-13-azatriangulene and its chemical structure. [3] A molecule is a group of two or more atoms that are held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds; depending on context, the term may or may not include ions that satisfy this criterion.

  9. Water cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_cluster

    In chemistry, a water cluster is a discrete hydrogen bonded assembly or cluster of molecules of water. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Many such clusters have been predicted by theoretical models ( in silico ), and some have been detected experimentally in various contexts such as ice , bulk liquid water, in the gas phase , in dilute mixtures with non-polar ...
