  2. Pauling's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_rules

    Second rule: the electrostatic valence rule. For a given cation, Pauling defined [2] the electrostatic bond strength to each coordinated anion as , where z is the cation charge and ν is the cation coordination number. A stable ionic structure is arranged to preserve local electroneutrality, so that the sum of the strengths of the electrostatic ...

  3. Bond order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_order

    In molecular orbital theory, bond order is defined as half the difference between the number of bonding electrons and the number of antibonding electrons as per the equation below. [4][5] This often but not always yields similar results for bonds near their equilibrium lengths, but it does not work for stretched bonds. [6] Bond order is also an ...

  4. Coordination number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_number

    Coordination number. In chemistry, crystallography, and materials science, the coordination number, also called ligancy, of a central atom in a molecule or crystal is the number of atoms, molecules or ions bonded to it. The ion/molecule/atom surrounding the central ion/molecule/atom is called a ligand. This number is determined somewhat ...

  5. Bond valence method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_valence_method

    The bond valence method or mean method (or bond valence sum) (not to be mistaken for the valence bond theory in quantum chemistry) is a popular method in coordination chemistry to estimate the oxidation states of atoms. It is derived from the bond valence model, which is a simple yet robust model for validating chemical structures with ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    The bond-order formula at the bottom is closest to the reality of four equivalent oxygens each having a total bond order of 2. That total includes the bond of order ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ to the implied cation and follows the 8 − N rule [ 7 ] requiring that the main-group atom's bond-order total equals 8 − N valence electrons of the neutral atom ...

  8. Pauling's principle of electroneutrality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_principle_of...

    Using the electroneutrality principle the assumption is made that the Co-N bond will have 50% ionic character thus resulting in a zero charge on the cobalt atom. Due to the difference in electronegativity the N-H bond would 17% ionic character and therefore a charge of 0.166 on each of the 18 hydrogen atoms.

  9. Bond length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_length

    Bond length. In molecular geometry, bond length or bond distance is defined as the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. It is a transferable property of a bond between atoms of fixed types, relatively independent of the rest of the molecule.
