  2. 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.

  3. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls. [19]

  4. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    In organic chemistry, covalent bonding is much more common than ionic bonding. Covalent bonding also includes many kinds of interactions, including σ-bonding, π-bonding, metal-to-metal bonding, agostic interactions, bent bonds, three-center two-electron bonds and three-center four-electron bonds. [2] [3] The term covalent bond dates from 1939 ...

  5. Octet rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_rule

    The bonding in carbon dioxide (CO 2): all atoms are surrounded by 8 electrons, fulfilling the octet rule.. The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

  6. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_solid

    Models of the packing of molecules in two molecular solids, carbon dioxide or Dry ice (a), [1] and caffeine (c). [2] The gray, red, and purple balls represent carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, respectively. Images of carbon dioxide (b) and caffeine (d) in the solid state at room temperature and atmosphere.

  7. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    A solid with extensive hydrogen bonding will be considered a molecular solid, yet strong hydrogen bonds can have a significant degree of covalent character. As noted above, covalent and ionic bonds form a continuum between shared and transferred electrons; covalent and weak bonds form a continuum between shared and unshared electrons.

  8. Carbon compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_compounds

    There are many oxides of carbon , of which the most common are carbon dioxide (CO 2) and carbon monoxide (CO). Other less known oxides include carbon suboxide (C 3 O 2) and mellitic anhydride (C 12 O 9). [5] There are also numerous unstable or elusive oxides, such as dicarbon monoxide (C 2 O), oxalic anhydride (C 2 O 4), and carbon trioxide (CO 3).

  9. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    When a gas is compressed to increase its density, the influence of the attractive force increases. If the gas is made sufficiently dense, the attractions can become large enough to overcome the tendency of thermal motion to cause the molecules to disperse. Then the gas can condense to form a solid or liquid, i.e., a condensed phase.
