Bond creditor (Law), a creditor whose debt is secured by a

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
