    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_chemistry_terms

    A chemical bond between valence electrons, or an atom or unbranched chain of atoms connecting two different parts of the same molecule; i.e. an intramolecular bond linking different moieties or functional groups. [2] bridgehead Either of the two tertiary atoms which by bonding to each other form an intramolecular bridge. [2] Brønsted–Lowry acid

  3. Human bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_bonding

    Human bonding is the process of development of a close interpersonal relationship between two or more people. It most commonly takes place between family members or friends, [1] but can also develop among groups, such as sporting teams and whenever people spend time together. Bonding is a mutual, interactive process, and is different from ...

  4. Schadenfreude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude

    Words for these concepts are sometimes cited as antonyms to schadenfreude, as each is the opposite in some way. There is no common English term for pleasure at another's happiness (i.e.; vicarious joy), though terms like 'celebrate', 'cheer', 'congratulate', 'applaud', 'rejoice' or 'kudos' often describe a shared or reciprocal form of pleasure.

  5. Adhesive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive

    The bond forms because the adhesive is soft enough to flow (i.e., "wet") to the adherend. The bond has strength because the adhesive is hard enough to resist flow when stress is applied to the bond. Once the adhesive and the adherend are in close proximity, molecular interactions, such as van der Waals forces , become involved in the bond ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus

    Thesaurus Linguae Latinae. A modern english thesaurus. A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms ...

  7. Molecular binding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_binding

    Molecular binding is an attractive interaction between two molecules that results in a stable association in which the molecules are in close proximity to each other. It is formed when atoms or molecules bind together by sharing of electrons.

  8. Chemical affinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_affinity

    In modern terms, we relate affinity to the phenomenon whereby certain atoms or molecules have the tendency to aggregate or bond. For example, in the 1919 book Chemistry of Human Life physician George W. Carey states that, "Health depends on a proper amount of iron phosphate Fe 3 (PO 4 ) 2 in the blood, for the molecules of this salt have ...

  9. Adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesion

    A weaker bond is formed if a hydrogen atom in one molecule is attracted to an atom of nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine in another molecule, a phenomenon called hydrogen bonding. Chemical adhesion occurs when the surface atoms of two separate surfaces form ionic, covalent, or hydrogen bonds.
