  2. Dewar–Chatt–Duncanson model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewar–Chatt–Duncanson...

    On the left, a filled pi-orbital on C 2 H 4 overlaps with an empty d-orbital on the metal. On the right, an empty pi-antibonding orbital on C 2 H 4 overlaps with a filled d-orbital on the metal. The Dewar–Chatt–Duncanson model is a model in organometallic chemistry that explains the chemical bonding in transition metal alkene complexes.

  3. Network covalent bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_covalent_bonding

    Examples of network solids include diamond with a continuous network of carbon atoms and silicon dioxide or quartz with a continuous three-dimensional network of SiO 2 units. Graphite and the mica group of silicate minerals structurally consist of continuous two-dimensional sheets covalently bonded within the layer, with other bond types ...

  4. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_bonding

    The freedom of electrons to migrate also gives metal atoms, or layers of them, the capacity to slide past each other. Locally, bonds can easily be broken and replaced by new ones after a deformation. This process does not affect the communal metallic bonding very much, which gives rise to metals' characteristic malleability and ductility .

  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. Quadruple bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadruple_bond

    The octachlorodirhenate(III) anion, [Re 2 Cl 8] 2−, which features a quadruple Re–Re bond Formation of a delta bond by the overlap of two d orbitals. The [Re 2 Cl 8] 2− ion adopts an eclipsed conformation as shown at left. The delta bonding orbital is then formed by overlap of the d orbitals on each rhenium atom, which are perpendicular ...

  7. Tight binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tight_binding

    The name "tight binding" of this electronic band structure model suggests that this quantum mechanical model describes the properties of tightly bound electrons in solids. . The electrons in this model should be tightly bound to the atom to which they belong and they should have limited interaction with states and potentials on surrounding atoms of the sol

  8. Interatomic potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interatomic_potential

    Here is the one-body term, the two-body term, the three body term, the number of atoms in the system, the position of atom , etc. , and are indices that loop over atom positions. Note that in case the pair potential is given per atom pair, in the two-body term the potential should be multiplied by 1/2 as otherwise each bond is counted twice ...

  9. Trigonal prismatic molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_prismatic...

    The intra- and inter-triangle Te–Te distances are 2.70 and 3.06 Å, respectively. [1] Hexamethyltungsten (W(CH 3) 6) was the first example of a molecular trigonal prismatic complex. [2] The figure shows the six carbon atoms arranged at the vertices of a triangular prism with the tungsten at the centre. The hydrogen atoms are not shown.
