  2. Chemical bonding of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding_of_water

    Water (H. 2O) is a simple triatomic bent molecule with C 2v molecular symmetry and bond angle of 104.5° between the central oxygen atom and the hydrogen atoms. Despite being one of the simplest triatomic molecules, its chemical bonding scheme is nonetheless complex as many of its bonding properties such as bond angle, ionization energy, and ...

  3. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water (H2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound [ 20 ] and is described as the "universal solvent " [ 21 ] and the "solvent of life". [ 22 ]

  4. Yield to maturity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_to_maturity

    Even though the yield-to-maturity for the remaining life of the bond is just 7%, and the yield-to-maturity bargained for when the bond was purchased was only 10%, the annualized return earned over the first 10 years is 16.25%. This can be found by evaluating (1+i) from the equation (1+i) 10 = (25.84/5.73), giving 0.1625.

  5. Bond-dissociation energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond-dissociation_energy

    The bond-dissociation energy (BDE, D0, or DH°) is one measure of the strength of a chemical bond A−B. It can be defined as the standard enthalpy change when A−B is cleaved by homolysis to give fragments A and B, which are usually radical species. [ 1 ][ 2 ] The enthalpy change is temperature-dependent, and the bond-dissociation energy is ...

  6. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    A symmetric hydrogen bond is a special type of hydrogen bond in which the proton is spaced exactly halfway between two identical atoms. The strength of the bond to each of those atoms is equal. It is an example of a three-center four-electron bond. This type of bond is much stronger than a "normal" hydrogen bond.

  7. Ionic strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic_strength

    Ionic strength. The ionic strength of a solution is a measure of the concentration of ions in that solution. Ionic compounds, when dissolved in water, dissociate into ions. The total electrolyte concentration in solution will affect important properties such as the dissociation constant or the solubility of different salts.

  8. Bond energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_energy

    In chemistry, bond energy (BE) is one measure of the strength of a chemical bond. It is sometimes called the mean bond , bond enthalpy , average bond enthalpy , or bond strength . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] IUPAC defines bond energy as the average value of the gas-phase bond-dissociation energy (usually at a temperature of 298.15 K) for all bonds of the ...

  9. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    The hydrogen bonds of water are around 23 kJ/mol (compared to a covalent O-H bond at 492 kJ/mol). Of this, it is estimated that 90% is attributable to electrostatics, while the remaining 10% is partially covalent. [95] These bonds are the cause of water's high surface tension [96] and capillary forces.
