  2. Metallic bonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_bonding

    The strong bonding of metals in liquid form demonstrates that the energy of a metallic bond is not highly dependent on the direction of the bond; this lack of bond directionality is a direct consequence of electron delocalization, and is best understood in contrast to the directional bonding of covalent bonds.

  3. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Metallic solids have, by definition, no band gap at the Fermi level and hence are conducting. Solids with purely metallic bonding are characteristically ductile and, in their pure forms, have low strength; melting points can [inconsistent] be very low (e.g., Mercury melts at 234 K (−39 °C)). These properties are consequences of the non ...

  4. Metal–metal bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal–metal_bond

    Mn 2 (CO) 10 is a simple and clear case of a metal-metal bond because no other atoms tie the two Mn atoms together. When several metals are linked by metal-metal bonds, the compound or ion is called a metal cluster. Many metal clusters contain several unsupported M–M bonds. Some examples are M 3 (CO) 12 (M = Ru, Os) and Ir 4 (CO) 12.

  5. Metallophilic interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallophilic_interaction

    The atoms are often within Van der Waals distance of each other and are about as strong as hydrogen bonds. [1] The effect can be intramolecular or intermolecular . Intermolecular metallophilic interactions can lead to formation of supramolecular assemblies whose properties vary with the choice of element and oxidation states of the metal atoms ...

  6. Pi backbonding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi_backbonding

    σ bonding from electrons in CO's HOMO to metal center d-orbital. π backbonding from electrons in metal center d-orbital to CO's LUMO. The electrons are partially transferred from a d-orbital of the metal to anti-bonding molecular orbitals of CO (and its analogs). This electron-transfer strengthens the metal–C bond and weakens the C–O bond.

  8. 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]

  9. Terrace ledge kink model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrace_ledge_kink_model

    The energy required to remove an atom from the surface depends on the number of bonds to other surface atoms which must be broken. For a simple cubic lattice in this model, each atom is treated as a cube and bonding occurs at each face, giving a coordination number of 6 nearest neighbors. Second-nearest neighbors in this cubic model are those ...
