  2. Coordinate covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_covalent_bond

    In coordination chemistry, a coordinate covalent bond, [1] also known as a dative bond, [2] dipolar bond, [1] or coordinate bond [3] is a kind of two-center, two-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. The bonding of metal ions to ligands involves this kind of interaction. [4]

  3. Covalent bond classification method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond...

    Instead of simply assigning a charge (oxidation state) to an atom in the molecule, the covalent bond classification method analyzes the nature of the ligands surrounding the atom of interest. [2] According to this method, the interactions that allow for coordination of the ligand can be classified according to whether it donates two, one, or ...

  4. Resonance (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance_(chemistry)

    Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_paper

    A past paper is an examination paper from a previous year or previous years, usually used either for exam practice or for tests such as University of Oxford, [1] [2] University of Cambridge [3] College Collections.

  7. Inverted ligand field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_ligand_field_theory

    Cu(CF 3) 4 − square planar structure. The first example of an inverted ligand field was demonstrated in paper form 1995 by James Snyder. [5] In this theoretical paper, Snyder proposed that the [Cu(CF 3) 4] − complexes reported by Naumann et al. and assigned a formal oxidation state of 3+ at the copper [6] would be better thought of as Cu(I).

  8. Three-center four-electron bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Three-center_four-electron_bond

    This bonding scheme is succinctly summarized by the following two resonance structures: I—I···I − ↔ I − ···I—I (where "—" represents a single bond and "···" represents a "dummy bond" with formal bond order 0 whose purpose is only to indicate connectivity), which when averaged reproduces the I—I bond order of 0.5 obtained ...

  9. Van der Waals force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force

    The strength of van der Waals bonds increases with higher polarizability of the participating atoms. [10] For example, the pairwise van der Waals interaction energy for more polarizable atoms such as S ( sulfur ) atoms in H 2 S and sulfides exceeds 1 kJ/mol (10 meV), and the pairwise interaction energy between even larger, more polarizable Xe ...
