  2. Atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom

    Atoms can attach to one or more other atoms by chemical bonds to form chemical compounds such as molecules or crystals. The ability of atoms to attach and detach from each other is responsible for most of the physical changes observed in nature. Chemistry is the science that studies these changes.

  3. Ball-and-stick model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-and-stick_model

    In chemistry, the ball-and-stick model is a molecular model of a chemical substance which displays both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them. [1] The atoms are typically represented by spheres , connected by rods which represent the bonds.

  4. Aufbau principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufbau_principle

    In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the Aufbau principle (/ ˈ aʊ f b aʊ /, from German: Aufbauprinzip, lit. 'building-up principle'), also called the Aufbau rule, states that in the ground state of an atom or ion, electrons first fill subshells of the lowest available energy, then fill subshells of higher energy.

  5. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Covalent bonding corresponds to sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms of essentially equal electronegativity (for example, C–C and C–H bonds in aliphatic hydrocarbons). As bonds become more polar, they become increasingly ionic in character. Metal oxides vary along the iono-covalent spectrum. [4]

  6. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    A double bond between two given atoms consists of one σ and one π bond, and a triple bond is one σ and two π bonds. [8] 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.

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.

    With four weeks left in the NFL regular season, only four teams have clinched playoff spots. But several more could join them in Week 15.

  9. Periodic trends - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_trends

    The atomic radius is half of the distance between two nuclei of two atoms. The atomic radius is the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outermost electron orbital in an atom . In general, the atomic radius decreases as we move from left-to-right in a period , and it increases when we go down a group .
