  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Nonpolar bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is less than 0.5; Polar bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is roughly between 0.5 and 2.0; Ionic bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is greater than 2.0

  3. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    A hydrogen bond is an extreme form of dipole-dipole bonding, referring to the attraction between a hydrogen atom that is bonded to an element with high electronegativity, usually nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. [4] The hydrogen bond is often described as a strong electrostatic dipole–dipole interaction.

    Covalent bonds are generally formed between two nonmetals. There are several types of covalent bonds: in polar covalent bonds, electrons are more likely to be found around one of the two atoms, whereas in nonpolar covalent bonds, electrons are evenly shared. Homonuclear diatomic molecules are purely covalent.

  5. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    Non-polar covalent bonds in methane (CH 4). The Lewis structure shows electrons shared between C and H atoms. Covalent bonding is a common type of bonding in which two or more atoms share valence electrons more or less equally. The simplest and most common type is a single bond in which two atoms share two electrons.

    A bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces that occurs between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding. A diatomic hydrogen molecule, H 2 (right), is formed by a covalent bond when two single hydrogen atoms share two electrons between them ...

  7. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Regarding the organization of covalent bonds, recall that classic molecular solids, as stated above, consist of small, non-polar covalent molecules. The example given, paraffin wax , is a member of a family of hydrocarbon molecules of differing chain lengths, with high-density polyethylene at the long-chain end of the series.

  8. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    Covalent bonds are also affected by the electronegativity of the connected atoms which determines the chemical polarity of the bond. Two atoms with equal electronegativity will make nonpolar covalent bonds such as H–H. An unequal relationship creates a polar covalent bond such as with H−Cl.

  9. 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.
