  2. Bond energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_energy

    Bond energy (BE) is the average of all bond-dissociation energies of a single type of bond in a given molecule. [7] The bond-dissociation energies of several different bonds of the same type can vary even within a single molecule. For example, a water molecule is composed of two O–H bonds bonded as H–O–H.

  3. Chemical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_energy

    Chemical energy is the energy of chemical substances that is released when the substances undergo a chemical reaction and transform into other substances. Some examples of storage media of chemical energy include batteries, [1] food, and gasoline (as well as oxygen gas, which is of high chemical energy due to its relatively weak double bond [2] and indispensable for chemical-energy release in ...

  4. Carbon-based life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-based_life

    The carbon cycle is a biogeochemical cycle that is important in maintaining life on Earth over a long time span. The cycle includes carbon sequestration and carbon sinks. [4] [5] Plate tectonics are needed for life over a long time span, and carbon-based life is important in the plate tectonics process. [6]

  5. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    Examples of hydrogen bond donating (donors) and hydrogen bond accepting groups (acceptors) Cyclic dimer of acetic acid; dashed green lines represent hydrogen bonds Hydrogen bonds arise from a combination of electrostatics (multipole-multipole and multipole-induced multipole interactions), covalency (charge transfer by orbital overlap), and ...

  6. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms. This attraction may be seen as the result of different behaviors of the outermost or valence electrons of atoms. These behaviors merge into each other seamlessly in various circumstances, so that there is no clear line to be drawn between them.

  7. Ionic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_bonding

    Ionic bonds have high bond energy. Bond energy is the mean amount of energy required to break the bond in the gaseous state. Most ionic compounds exist in the form of a crystal structure, in which the ions occupy the corners of the crystal. Such a structure is called a crystal lattice.

  8. Binding energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

    Bond energy and bond-dissociation energy are measures of the binding energy between the atoms in a chemical bond. It is the energy required to disassemble a molecule into its constituent atoms. This energy appears as chemical energy, such as that released in chemical explosions, the burning of chemical fuel and biological processes. Bond ...
