  2. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    The induced dipole forces appear from the induction (also termed polarization), which is the attractive interaction between a permanent multipole on one molecule with an induced (by the former di/multi-pole) 31 on another. [12] [13] [14] This interaction is called the Debye force, named after Peter J. W. Debye.

  3. Carbon–carbon bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboncarbon_bond

    Carbon is one of the few elements that can form long chains of its own atoms, a property called catenation.This coupled with the strength of the carboncarbon bond gives rise to an enormous number of molecular forms, many of which are important structural elements of life, so carbon compounds have their own field of study: organic chemistry.

  4. Carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon

    Carbon (from Latin carbo 'coal') is a chemical element; it has symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalent—meaning that its atoms are able to form up to four covalent bonds due to its valence shell exhibiting 4 electrons. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. [13] Carbon makes up about 0.025 percent of Earth's ...

  5. Force field (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(chemistry)

    Part of force field of ethane for the C-C stretching bond. In the context of chemistry, molecular physics, physical chemistry, and molecular modelling, a force field is a computational model that is used to describe the forces between atoms (or collections of atoms) within molecules or between molecules as well as in crystals.

  6. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    Keesom forces are the forces between the permanent dipoles of two polar molecules. [23]: 701 London dispersion forces are the forces between induced dipoles of different molecules. [23]: 703 There can also be an interaction between a permanent dipole in one molecule and an induced dipole in another molecule. [23]: 702

    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.

    The carbon dioxide, they said, is likely to have been part of the primordial material from which both Charon and Pluto originally formed. Scientists had been surprised that carbon dioxide was not ...

  9. Coupling constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_constant

    Since the additional particles involved beyond the single force carrier approximation are always virtual, i.e. transient quantum field fluctuations, one understands why the running of a coupling is a genuine quantum and relativistic phenomenon, namely an effect of the high-order Feynman diagrams on the strength of the force.
