SECONDARY BONDS

· Two types of secondary bonding will be discussed. The energies associated with these bonds are on the order of 0.1 to 1.0 eV.
· van der Waals Bonding is bonding between atoms with full quantum states.
· The attractive potential results from induced dipole-dipole interactions.
· The repulsive potential is a Pauli exclusion principle interaction between the full quantum states.
· Secondary bonding can also take place through Permanent Dipoles on molecules. These bonds are directional.
· Dipole bonds in which hydrogen is the positive end of the dipole are called Hydrogen Bonds.
· The repulsive potential in permanent dipole bonding is also a Pauli exclusion principle interaction between the full quantum states.
