  2. Oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen

    The bond can be variously described based on level of theory, but is reasonably and simply described as a covalent double bond that results from the filling of molecular orbitals formed from the atomic orbitals of the individual oxygen atoms, the filling of which results in a bond order of two. More specifically, the double bond is the result ...

  3. Double bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_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. Other common double bonds are found in azo compounds (N=N), imines (C=N), and sulfoxides (S=O). In a skeletal formula, a double bond ...

  4. Double bond rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bond_rule

    In chemistry, the double bond rule states that elements with a principal quantum number (n) greater than 2 for their valence electrons (period 3 elements and higher) tend not to form multiple bonds (e.g. double bonds and triple bonds). Double bonds for these heavier elements, when they exist, are often weak due to poor orbital overlap between ...

  5. Bond order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_order

    In chemistry, bond order is a formal measure of the multiplicity of a covalent bond between two atoms. As introduced by Gerhard Herzberg, [1] building off of work by R. S. Mulliken and Friedrich Hund, bond order is defined as the difference between the numbers of electron pairs in bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals.

  6. Diatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatomic_molecule

    About 99% of the Earth's atmosphere is composed of two species of diatomic molecules: nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). The natural abundance of hydrogen (H 2) in the Earth's atmosphere is only of the order of parts per million, but H 2 is the most abundant diatomic molecule in the universe. The interstellar medium is dominated by hydrogen atoms.

  7. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    The σ from the 2p is more non-bonding due to mixing, and same with the 2s σ. This also causes a large jump in energy in the 2p σ* orbital. The bond order of diatomic nitrogen is three, and it is a diamagnetic molecule. [12] The bond order for dinitrogen (1σ g 2 1σ u 2 2σ g 2 2σ u 2 1π u 4 3σ g 2) is three because two electrons are now ...

  8. Carbon–oxygen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon–oxygen_bond

    A carbon–oxygen bond is a polar covalent bond between atoms of carbon and oxygen. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] : 16–22 Carbon–oxygen bonds are found in many inorganic compounds such as carbon oxides and oxohalides , carbonates and metal carbonyls , [ 4 ] and in organic compounds such as alcohols , ethers , and carbonyl compounds .

  9. SMILES arbitrary target specification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiles_arbitrary_target...

    The definitions of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors used to apply Lipinski's Rule of Five [6] are easily coded in SMARTS. Donors are defined as nitrogen or oxygen atoms that have at least one directly bonded hydrogen atom: [N,n,O;!H0] or [#7,#8;!H0] (aromatic oxygen cannot have a bonded hydrogen) Acceptors are defined as nitrogen or oxygen:
