Learn everything you need to know about bonding, structure and properties to ace your GCSE science exam with this BBC podcast.

A shorter hydrogen bond, for instance, indicates stronger hydrogen bonding and a relatively weaker covalent bond. This was reflected, as expected, in lower spectroscopic frequencies for the H–F ...

A lanthanide–carbon triple bond has been created for the first time, specifically a bond between cerium and carbon, ...

Rigid and robust, C-C covalent bonds are the most basic structure in organic and biological compounds. Understanding their nature is essential to improving our knowledge of chemical phenomena.

Non-covalent hydrogen bonds can be thought of like an electrostatic force. There is a bond donor, like the studs on the top of a LEGO® brick, that interacts with a bond acceptor, or the back of ...

Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon molecules. A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom. This is one electron. The fragile ...

Of particular note is the demonstrably smooth transition between classical covalent bonding and electron-rich multi-center bonding.

Covalent Bonds: Students learn how to predict the shape of a molecule based on the electron dot diagram and to explain what determines molecular polarity. Intermolecular forces are also described ...
