  2. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    A symmetric hydrogen bond is a special type of hydrogen bond in which the proton is spaced exactly halfway between two identical atoms. The strength of the bond to each of those atoms is equal. It is an example of a three-center four-electron bond. This type of bond is much stronger than a "normal" hydrogen bond.

  3. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    Covalent bond. A covalent bond forming H 2 (right) where two hydrogen atoms share the two electrons. 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 ...

  4. Carbon–hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–hydrogen_bond

    Carbon–hydrogen bond. In chemistry, the carbon–hydrogen bond (C−H bond) is a chemical bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms that can be found in many organic compounds. [1] This bond is a covalent, single bond, meaning that carbon shares its outer valence electrons with up to four hydrogens. This completes both of their outer shells ...

  5. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    Chemical bond. Covalent bonding of two hydrogen atoms to form a hydrogen molecule, H. 2. 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.

  6. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  7. Molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecule

    The study of molecules by molecular physics and theoretical chemistry is largely based on quantum mechanics and is essential for the understanding of the chemical bond. The simplest of molecules is the hydrogen molecule-ion, H 2 +, and the simplest of all the chemical bonds is the one-electron bond.

  8. Bond energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_energy

    In chemistry, bond energy (BE) is one measure of the strength of a chemical bond. It is sometimes called the mean bond, bond enthalpy, average bond enthalpy, or bond strength. [1][2][3] IUPAC defines bond energy as the average value of the gas-phase bond-dissociation energy (usually at a temperature of 298.15 K) for all bonds of the same type ...

  9. Double bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bond

    In chemistry, a double bond is a covalent bond between two atoms involving four bonding electrons as opposed to two in a single bond. Double bonds occur most commonly between two carbon atoms, for example in alkenes. Many double bonds exist between two different elements: for example, in a carbonyl group between a carbon atom and an oxygen atom.
