  2. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    In nylon, hydrogen bonds between carbonyl and the amide NH effectively link adjacent chains, which gives the material mechanical strength. Hydrogen bonds also affect the aramid fibre, where hydrogen bonds stabilize the linear chains laterally. The chain axes are aligned along the fibre axis, making the fibres extremely stiff and strong.

  3. Chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bond

    Hydrogen bonds of the form A--H•••B occur when A and B are two highly electronegative atoms (usually N, O or F) such that A forms a highly polar covalent bond with H so that H has a partial positive charge, and B has a lone pair of electrons which is attracted to this partial positive charge and forms a hydrogen bond. [23]: 702 Hydrogen ...

  4. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    A hydrogen bond is an extreme form of dipole-dipole bonding, referring to the attraction between a hydrogen atom that is bonded to an element with high electronegativity, usually nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. [4] The hydrogen bond is often described as a strong electrostatic dipole–dipole interaction.

  5. Molecular solid - Wikipedia

    (b) Four acetic acid molecules in zig-zag hydrogen bonding in 1D. (c) Demonstration of how hydrogen bonding are involved in the crystal lattice structure. A hydrogen bond is a specific dipole where a hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge (δ+) to due a neighboring electronegative atom or functional group.

  6. Bonding in solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonding_in_solids

    Intermediate kinds of bonding: A solid with extensive hydrogen bonding will be considered a molecular solid, yet strong hydrogen bonds can have a significant degree of covalent character. As noted above, covalent and ionic bonds form a continuum between shared and transferred electrons; covalent and weak bonds form a continuum between shared ...

  7. Van der Waals force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force

    Van der Waals forces include attraction and repulsions between atoms, molecules, as well as other intermolecular forces.They differ from covalent and ionic bonding in that they are caused by correlations in the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles (a consequence of quantum dynamics [6]).

  8. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    A covalent bond forming H 2 (right) where two hydrogen atoms share the two electrons. A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs.

  9. Physisorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physisorption

    In physisorption, perturbation of the electronic states of adsorbent and adsorbate is minimal. The adsorption forces include London Forces, dipole-dipole attractions, dipole-induced attraction and "hydrogen bonding." For chemisorption, changes in the electronic states may be detectable by suitable physical means, in other words, chemical bonding.
