  2. 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.

  3. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    The chemical energy released in the formation of non-covalent interactions is typically on the order of 1–5 kcal/mol (1000–5000 calories per 6.02 × 10 23 molecules). [2] Non-covalent interactions can be classified into different categories, such as electrostatic, π-effects, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic effects. [3] [2]

  4. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Other examples include sugars (like sucrose), which have many polar oxygen–hydrogen (−OH) groups and are overall highly polar. If the bond dipole moments of the molecule do not cancel, the molecule is polar. For example, the water molecule (H 2 O) contains two polar O−H bonds in a bent (nonlinear) geometry.

  5. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Intermediate organization of covalent bonds: 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 ...

  6. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    Molecules that are formed primarily from non-polar covalent bonds are often immiscible in water or other polar solvents, but much more soluble in non-polar solvents such as hexane. A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond with a significant ionic character. This means that the two shared electrons are closer to one of the atoms than the other ...

  7. Host–guest chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host–guest_chemistry

    In supramolecular chemistry, [1] host–guest chemistry describes complexes that are composed of two or more molecules or ions that are held together in unique structural relationships by forces other than those of full covalent bonds. Host–guest chemistry encompasses the idea of molecular recognition and interactions through non-covalent ...
