place, conform to certain rules, faithfully perform
certain duties, or pay a certain sum of money, on or
before a time specified, the obligation shall be void;

headers, and the next course of bricks with their lengths
parallel to the face of the wall, called stretchers;
Flemish bond (Fig.2), where each course consists of
headers and stretchers alternately, so laid as always to
break joints; Cross bond, which differs from the English
by the change of the second stretcher line so that its
joints come in the middle of the first, and the same
position of stretchers comes back every fifth line;
Combined cross and English bond, where the inner part of
the wall is laid in the one method, the outer in the
other.

covalent bond, an attractive force between two atoms of a
molecule generated by the merging of an electron orbital
of each atom into a combined orbital in the molecule. Such
bonds vary in strength, but in molecules of substances
typically encountered in human experience (as, water or
alcohol) they are sufficiently strong to persist and
maintain the identity and integrity of the molecule over
appreciable periods of time. Each such bond satisfies one
unit of valence for each of the atoms thus bonded.
Contrasted with hydrogen bond, which is weaker and does
not satisfy the valence of either atom involved.
double bond, triple bond, a covalent bond which
involves the merging of orbitals of two (or three)
electrons on each of the two connected atoms, thus
satisfying two (or three) units of valence on each of the
bonded atoms. When two carbon atoms are thus bonded, the
bond (and the compound) are said to be unsaturated.
Bond debt (Law), a debt contracted under the obligation of
a bond. --Burrows.
hydrogen bond, a non-covalent bond between hydrogen and
another atom, usually oxygen or nitrogen. It does not
involve the sharing of electrons between the bonded atoms,
and therefore does not satisfy the valence of either atom.
Hydrogen bonds are weak (ca. 5 kcal/mol) and may be
frequently broken and reformed in solution at room
temperature.
Bond of a slate or lap of a slate, the distance between
the top of one slate and the bottom or drip of the second
