  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    The dipoles do not cancel out, resulting in a net dipole. The dipole moment of water depends on its state. In the gas phase the dipole moment is ≈ 1.86 debye (D), [ 11 ] whereas liquid water (≈ 2.95 D) [ 12 ] and ice (≈ 3.09 D) [ 13 ] are higher due to differing hydrogen-bonded environments.

  3. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    This occurs if there is symmetry within the molecule that causes the dipoles to cancel each other out. This occurs in molecules such as tetrachloromethane and carbon dioxide. The dipoledipole interaction between two individual atoms is usually zero, since atoms rarely carry a permanent dipole. The Keesom interaction is a van der Waals force.

  4. Lysozyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysozyme

    The electrostatic stabilization argument was based on comparison to bulk water, the reorientation of water dipoles can cancel out the stabilizing energy of charge interaction. In Warshel's model, the enzyme acts as a super-solvent, which fixes the orientation of ion pairs and provides super- solvation (very good stabilization of ion pairs), and ...

  5. Dipolar compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipolar_compound

    In organic chemistry, a dipolar compound or simply dipole is an electrically neutral molecule carrying a positive and a negative charge in at least one canonical description. In most dipolar compounds the charges are delocalized . [ 1 ]

  6. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    The bent molecule H 2 O has a net dipole. The two bond dipoles do not cancel. The overall dipole moment of a molecule may be approximated as a vector sum of bond dipole moments. As a vector sum it depends on the relative orientation of the bonds, so that from the dipole moment information can be deduced about the molecular geometry.

  7. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    A dipole-induced dipole interaction (Debye force) is due to the approach of a molecule with a permanent dipole to another non-polar molecule with no permanent dipole. This approach causes the electrons of the non-polar molecule to be polarized toward or away from the dipole (or "induce" a dipole) of the approaching molecule. [13]

  8. Covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covalent_bond

    Two atoms with equal electronegativity will make nonpolar covalent bonds such as H–H. An unequal relationship creates a polar covalent bond such as with H−Cl. However polarity also requires geometric asymmetry, or else dipoles may cancel out, resulting in a non-polar molecule. [8]

  9. London dispersion force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_dispersion_force

    Interaction energy of an argon dimer.The long-range section is due to London dispersion forces. London dispersion forces (LDF, also known as dispersion forces, London forces, instantaneous dipole–induced dipole forces, fluctuating induced dipole bonds [1] or loosely as van der Waals forces) are a type of intermolecular force acting between atoms and molecules that are normally electrically ...
