  2. Coordinate covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_covalent_bond

    This electronic structure has an electric dipole, hence the name polar bond. In reality, the atoms carry partial charges; the more electronegative atom of the two involved in the bond will usually carry a partial negative charge. One exception to this is carbon monoxide. In this case, the carbon atom carries the partial negative charge although ...

  3. 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.

  4. Electron pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_pair

    MO diagrams depicting covalent (left) and polar covalent (right) bonding in a diatomic molecule. In both cases a bond is created by the formation of an electron pair. Because electrons are fermions, the Pauli exclusion principle forbids these particles from having all the same quantum numbers.

  5. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water (H 2 O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound [ 20 ] and is described as the "universal solvent " [ 21 ] and the "solvent of life". [ 22 ]

  7. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    The general notation for hydrogen bonding is Dn−H···Ac, where the solid line represents a polar covalent bond, and the dotted or dashed line indicates the hydrogen bond. [6] The most frequent donor and acceptor atoms are nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and fluorine (F), due to their high electronegativity and ability to engage in stronger ...

  8. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Water (H 2 O) is a polar inorganic compound. At room temperature it is a tasteless and odorless liquid , nearly colorless with a hint of blue . The simplest hydrogen chalcogenide , it is by far the most studied chemical compound and is sometimes described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve more substances than any other ...

  9. Polar surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_surface_area

    Molecules with a polar surface area of greater than 140 angstroms squared (Å 2) tend to be poor at permeating cell membranes. [1] For molecules to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (and thus act on receptors in the central nervous system), a PSA less than 90 Å 2 is usually needed. [2] TPSA is a valuable tool in drug discovery and development.
