| Bond Formation

|
1. Bond formation and internal energy
|
The bonds
that molecules form with each other can be summarized
as follows:
|
Intra Molecular Bonds
(Bonds within molecules) |
Intermolecular Bonds (Bonds
between molecules) |
|
Ionic bonds |
van der Waal's bonds |
|
Covalent bonds |
Hydrogen bond |
|
Metallic bonds |
Molecule - ion attractions |
|
 |
| For bond formation,
either between atoms (intra molecular bonds)
or between molecules (intermolecular bonds),
energy is expended. The energy between bonds
is the potential energy. |
