What is the bond between carbon and hydrogen?
Jump to navigation Jump to search. The carbon-hydrogen bond ( C–H bond) is a bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms that can be found in many organic compounds. This bond is a covalent bond meaning that carbon shares its outer valence electrons with up to four hydrogens. This completes both of their outer shells making them stable.
What are the characteristics of hydrogen bonding?
Definitions and general characteristics. A hydrogen atom attached to a relatively electronegative atom is the hydrogen bond donor. C-H bonds only participate in hydrogen bonding when the carbon atom is bound to electronegative substituents, as is the case in chloroform, CHCl 3.
What is the mechanism of hydrogen bonding in metals?
In this mechanism, the hydrogen atom from the C-H fragment adds across a double or triple bond, thereby reducing the atom bound to the metal and forming a new M-C bond in the process. These reactions are most often seen in metals such as Zr and Ti, featuring multiply bonded carbon or heteroatoms.
