Credit: Takuya Shimajiri et al./Nature Most chemical bonds in molecules are made up of a single pair of electrons, shared between atoms. These are called covalent single bonds.

However, in 1931, Linus Pauling theorized that a covalent bond could exist with atoms sharing a single electron. However, creating a new single-electron chemical bond isn't easy.

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 ...

The chemistry faculty overhauled the first-year curriculum, drawing from a surprising, but logical, source—a national framework for K–12 science education. The team’s rationale for building ...

Chemistry students the world over are familiar with covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds. Now a study has revealed a strange variety of bond that acts like a hybrid of the two.

NO SCHOOL chemistry textbook is complete without a detailed enumeration of the basic types of chemical bond: covalent, ionic and metallic. And for good reason, because bonds are the glue that ...
