  2. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_bonding

    Metallic bonding is mostly non-polar, because even in alloys there is little difference among the electronegativities of the atoms participating in the bonding interaction (and, in pure elemental metals, none at all). Thus, metallic bonding is an extremely delocalized communal form of covalent bonding.

  3. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Metallic bonding, which forms metallic solids Weak inter molecular bonding , which forms molecular solids (sometimes anomalously called "covalent solids") Typical members of these classes have distinctive electron distributions, [ 2 ] thermodynamic, electronic, and mechanical properties.

  4. Gold–aluminium intermetallic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold–aluminium_intermetallic

    AuAl 2 is the most thermally stable species of the Au–Al intermetallic compounds, with a melting point of 1060 °C (see phase diagram), which is similar to the melting point of pure gold. AuAl 2 can react with Au, therefore is often replaced by Au 2 Al, a tan-colored substance, which forms at composition of 93% of Au and 7% of Al by mass.

  5. Coordinate covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_covalent_bond

    In coordination chemistry, a coordinate covalent bond, [1] also known as a dative bond, [2] dipolar bond, [1] or coordinate bond [3] is a kind of two-center, two-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. The bonding of metal ions to ligands involves this kind of interaction. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    (b) Demonstration of how van der Waals and partial ionic bonding guide the crystal lattice structure. Coulombic interactions are manifested in some molecular solids. A well-studied example is the radical ion salt TTF-TCNQ with a conductivity of 5 x 10 2 Ω −1 cm −1, [5] much closer to copper (ρ = 6 x 10 5 Ω −1 cm −1) [8] than many ...

  7. Molecular orbital diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_diagram

    The possible orbital symmetries are listed in the table below. For example, an orbital of B 1 symmetry (called a b 1 orbital with a small b since it is a one-electron function) is multiplied by -1 under the symmetry operations C 2 (rotation about the 2-fold rotation axis) and σ v '(yz) (reflection in the molecular

  8. Metallophilic interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallophilic_interaction

    The atoms are often within Van der Waals distance of each other and are about as strong as hydrogen bonds. [1] The effect can be intramolecular or intermolecular . Intermolecular metallophilic interactions can lead to formation of supramolecular assemblies whose properties vary with the choice of element and oxidation states of the metal atoms ...

  9. Molecular orbital theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_orbital_theory

    Chemical substances will form bonding interactions if their orbitals become lower in energy when they interact with each other. Different bonding orbitals are distinguished that differ by electron configuration (electron cloud shape) and by energy levels. The molecular orbitals of a molecule can be illustrated in molecular orbital diagrams.
