  2. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    In chemistry, a hydrogen bond (H-bond) is a specific type of molecular interaction that exhibits partial covalent character and cannot be described as a purely electrostatic force. It occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom, covalently bonded to a more electronegative donor atom or group ( Dn ), interacts with another electronegative atom bearing a ...

  3. Functional group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_group

    In traditional names various qualifiers are used to label isomers, for example, isopropanol (IUPAC name: propan-2-ol) is an isomer of n-propanol (propan-1-ol). The term moiety has some overlap with the term "functional group". However, a moiety is an entire "half" of a molecule, which can be not only a single functional group, but also a larger ...

  4. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    A coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the two shared bonding electrons are from the same one of the atoms involved in the bond. For example, boron trifluoride (BF 3) and ammonia (NH 3) form an adduct or coordination complex F 3 B←NH 3 with a B–N bond in which a lone pair of electrons on N is shared with an empty atomic ...

  5. Lone pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_pair

    In contrast to NH 3, NF 3 has a much lower dipole moment of 0.234 D. Fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen and the polarity of the N-F bonds is opposite to that of the N-H bonds in ammonia, so that the dipole due to the lone pair opposes the N-F bond dipoles, resulting in a low molecular dipole moment.

  6. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    A solid wedged bond seen for example at the nitrogen (N) at top indicates a bond pointing above-the-plane, while a dashed wedged bond seen for example at the hydrogen (H) at bottom indicates a below-the-plane bond. Chirality in skeletal formulas is indicated by the Natta projection method.

  7. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    A hydrogen bond (H-bond), is a specific type of interaction that involves dipole–dipole attraction between a partially positive hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative, partially negative oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, or fluorine atom (not covalently bound to said hydrogen atom). It is not a covalent bond, but instead is classified as a strong ...

  8. Beta sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_sheet

    For example, residue i may form hydrogen bonds to residues j − 1 and j + 1; this is known as a wide pair of hydrogen bonds. By contrast, residue j may hydrogen-bond to different residues altogether, or to none at all. The hydrogen bond arrangement in parallel beta sheet resembles that in an amide ring motif with 11 atoms.

  9. Pauling's principle of electroneutrality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_principle_of...

    Using the electroneutrality principle the assumption is made that the Co-N bond will have 50% ionic character thus resulting in a zero charge on the cobalt atom. Due to the difference in electronegativity the N-H bond would 17% ionic character and therefore a charge of 0.166 on each of the 18 hydrogen atoms.
