This post is a list of chemical bonds. There are 16 bonds listed below alphabetically. License: CC BY-SA 3.0
1. Cation-pi interaction
"Cation-pi interaction is a non-covalent molecular interaction between the face of an electron rich pi system (e.g. benzene, ethylene, acetylene) and an adjacent cation (e.g. Li+, Na+)." (Wikipedia: Cation-pi interaction, 1.2.21 UTC 18:16)
2. Coordinate covalent bond
"A coordinate covalent bond... is a kind of 2-center, 2 electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom." (Wikipedia: Coordinate covalent bond, 7.27.21 UTC 16:36)
3. Covalent bond
"A covalent bond... involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms." (Wikipedia: Covalent bond, 7.7.21 UTC 10:04)
4. Dipole-dipole interaction
"Dipole-dipole interactions are electrostatic interactions between molecules which have permanent dipoles." (Wikipedia: Intermolecular force, 7.10.21 UTC 04:40)
5. Double bond
"A double bond... is a covalent bond between two atoms involving four bonding electrons as opposed to two in a single bond." (Wikipedia: Double bond, 6.8.21 UTC 12:54)
6. Halogen bond
"A halogen bond occurs when there is... a net attractive interaction between an electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic region in another, or the same, molecular entity." (Wikipedia: Halogen bond, 5.7.21 UTC 00:46)
7. Hydrogen bond
"A hydrogen bond is a primarily electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom which is covalently bound to a more electronegative atom or group..." (Wikipedia: Hydrogen bond, 7.26.21 UTC 07:20)
8. Ionic bond
"Ionic bonding... involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions or between two atoms with sharply different electronegativities, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds." (Wikipedia: Ionic bond, 6.5.21 UTC 16:00)
9. London dispersion force
"London dispersion forces... are a type of force acting between atoms and molecules... The electron distribution around an atom or molecule undergoes fluctuations in time. These fluctuations create instantaneous electric fields which are felt by other nearby atoms and molecules... (Wikipedia: London-dispersion force, 6.11.21 UTC 23:53)
10. Metallic bond
"Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that arises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons (in the form of an electron cloud of delocalized electrons) and positively charged metal ions." (Wikipedia: Metallic bonding, 6.16.21 UTC 11:23)
11. Quadruple bond
"A quadruple bond is a type of chemical bond between two atoms involving eight electrons." (Wikipedia: Quadruple bond, 7.8.21 UTC 13:05)
12. Sigma bond
"Sigma bonds are the strongest type of covalent bond due to the direct overlap of orbitals, and the electrons in these bonds are sometimes referred to as sigma electrons." (Wikipedia: Sigma bond, 7.26.21 UTC 14:25)
13. Single bond
"A single bond is... between two atoms involving two valence electrons." (Wikipedia: Single bond, 7.25.21 UTC 18:09)
14. Three-center four-electron bond
"The 3-center 4-electron bond is a model used to explain bonding in certain hypervalent molecules..." (Wikipedia: Three-center four-electron bond, 6.29.21 UTC 15:46)
15. Three-center two-electron bond
"A 3-center 2-electron bond is an electron-deficient chemical bond where three atoms share two electrons." (Wikipedia: Three-center two-electron bond, 4.12.21 UTC 17:12)
16. Triple bond
"A triple bond... is between two atoms involving six bonding electrons..." (Wikipedia: Triple bond, 6.9.21 UTC 23:46)
